Overall a good read but I'd be interested to find out what happens in Italy or Spain when a someone with much lower social status makes someone with a higher social status wait for a hour to show. Bet it doesn't happen all that often. Also, I've found that the idea of "circling around a problem" for several days until coming to a decision is standard practice in the US, at least if you're involved in any kind of development or creative task.
