Imagine how lost and infuriated many of us moderns would be in a world where time was not of the essence, it was on the periphery.

Mexicans would fit right in. (I say this not as a criticism, but simply observing a distinction.)

We were introduced to the similar concept of “Fiji-time” a couple of years ago. The Fijians take their time at everything because, as they say, they are the first to see the sun rise (because of Fiji’s position near the international date line), and so they have to wait around for the rest of the world to catch up.

Despite this attitude, when we scheduled private visits to villages, the villagers picked us up promptly at 8 am.
