I generally wouldn't go for such nonsense either, and I typically share the usual US sentiment at a restaurant of getting in, getting fed, and getting out. But I have to admit that on a trip to Spain a couple years ago, where our two guides for the day had booked us a table at a little restaurant for lunch and I then insisted they come eat with us, before I knew it 2pm became 5pm from us just easily talking about nothing. It was actually quite lovely.
- rswail 6y agoI remember a week of work in Madrid, where a Spanish company, a US company and an Australian company were working together on a bid for a job. The US people suggested breakfast meetings at 7 in the hotel. The Spanish and Aussie people flatly refused. The Spanish wanted lunch from 2 until 4, the Aussies preferred 1 until 2, the Americans 12-1. Dinner was 7 for the Americans, 8-9 for the Aussies, and 9-12 for the Spanish. We didn't win the bid, but as an Aussie, I much prefer the Spanish daily schedule.
