Air travel is an everyday experience these days because it’s so fast. But frequent long-distance flying can be very tiring and the traveler begins to feel that his brains is in one country and his body is in another. In short, he hardly knows where he is.
The tiredness after a long flight becomes stronger when we
fly from east to west
or vice versa because we cross time zones.
Doctors say that air travlers should go straight to bed on arrival after crossing a number of time zones. They shouldn’t work without rest. However, airline pilots can hadly be affected. In fact, they often live by their own watches, paying no attention to local time. They can even have breakfast at midnight if necessary.
Businessmen, however, are not so lucky. After a long journey, they must either go straight to an important meeting or to their boss to give a report. Even so, there are still
a lot of businessmen traveling by air.

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00 am. On an island in the South Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately, they did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occurred to him (or to the natives) that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.
