I think I can say with accuracy that the only that run on time in Russia are the trains. Trains here are never late.
Everything else, pretty much, is.
Today, when I was giving a lesson on "prepositions of time" we came to the prepositional phrase in time.
"So that means that you arrive for the correct time?" P asks me.
"Yes," I confirm.
"Okay, so the correct time, minus or plus how many minutes?"
"Um... plus no minutes."
"Really? Not even some minutes?!"
I know that it's partly a translation problem, but it's also so...Russian.
