I recently immigrated to Germany and have since become close friends with a Brazilian expat.
Within our first few weeks, we made plans to meet with some of our new German friends at 9 o'clock. By 9:10 both of our phones were flooded with messages asking where we were. We of course had not even left our houses yet.
The differences in culture when it comes to social settings and punctuality are very real.
