No, no, that´s wrong, Chuck: Never get there the first. You have to arrive an hour and a half or two hours late. That will give you the maximum prestige.
Moreover if you are seen reading in a café you may face the accusation of be bored. Just look at the girls passing by! P.S. Remember to double check the meeting by cell phone. Say you have a meeting at 17:00. Call your friend at 18:00 and tell him/her that you are about to leave the hotel. Don´t look like you are sorry. He/she will be probably ask you to delay the appointment until 19:00 because he/she has got something to do. Don´t you dare to arrive before 20:00!! Remember that we dine late in here. If it is a SHE then try to arrive even later or not at all. That will keep her interested. > On Nov 19, 2005, at 12:16 PM, Javier Ruiz wrote: > >> Or in 1/12 of a Spanish coffee break... >> >> See the following exchange rate: >> >> 1 Spanish coffee break = 3 UK tea breaks = 12 UK coffee breaks. > > Hi Javier, > > How do you take into account that the English (Americans too) arrive > for the coffee break an hour or two before their Spanish friends? > > Happens to me when I visit Spain every time a meeting at a cafe is > arranged with my Spanish friends.
