Imagine: You’re waiting for your bus, standing at the side of a Chinese street at 6:30 am. The bus, the first of a day to another city, is 30 minutes late. The bus could be late because (pick the correct answer):
- The bus was the leave the station at 6:00 am. The driver thought getting up and leaving home at 5:59 am would be good enough.
- The driver’s watch has only three times: Breakfast time, Lunch Time, and Dinner Time.
- The driver waited because a rider said his mother, brother, friend, or lover was on their way and would there “soon.”
- The driver stopped the bus to get gas.
- The driver stopped to buy breakfast.
- The driver stopped to smoke a cigarette at the side of the road.
- The driver lost the key to the bus in a game of Mahjong.
- Two of the above
- Three of the above
- All of the above.

You’re such a lovely singer – like a angel…
While I like number 3 (always a favourite of mine) and number 10 (all too probable), I think it’s probably part of a higher level rule stating that those expecting anything to be on time in China are in for a rude awakening…

Everything is one time, Stephen, but that time is extremely “flexible” and subjective.
Definitely 10, if not that then 1.
