Honduras is almost definitely the land that punctuality forgot. No one ever really seems to be in a hurry to do anything. Or perhaps they never seem to be in a hurry to do what you want them to.
After being bullied onto the bus by a rather pushy gentleman insisting that it was leaving this minute the bus refused to pull out of the station for what proved to be almost an hour. Hondurans seem pretty fond of the words ´Ahorita´ loosely meaning this instant and ´ya´ meaning already.
¨What time is the bus leaving¨
¨Ya¨
It’s not really an answer, but it saves explaining that they are just waiting until there are enough people on the bus to justify leaving the bus station. It makes great business sense. If you’re at the end of a long journey and just want to get home its irritating and incredibly rude.
