- cdubzzz 9y agoYou get used to it with enough time. I spent 3.5 years working in Burkina Faso and after the first year or so it didn’t bother me at all. The occasionally annoying thing was that I, as a foreigner, was always expected to be on time, even when no one else was. I recall once, late in my time there, arriving to a major community meeting about half an hour after the appointed time. People who were already there complained about it while we waited, a good two more hours, for the local officials to arrive so we could start the meeting. As soon as they rolled in we got the meeting started and no one said a thing about their arrival time, hah.
