My personal experience in the Middle East: expect everyone to be at least half an hour late (you're stuck in a huge traffic jam anyway), don't be surprised if someone is 2 hours late, and don't view 11pm as an unusual time for a meeting (joking: there exists a time zone in which the meeting starts in time). I would classify it as "multi-active".

Personally, I like it that people are not angry with you when you're really late (again, traffic jam). I experience this as relieving.

Oh dear... I was looking through the comments of the top trending thread in HN now (6 hour workday) and this comment reminded me of your post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7839210

I like the choice of emotion: "relieving". It signifies some form of acceptance that "things spill over and nothing could be done about it".
