Oh, very sorry, I was unclear.  I know the trick of respecting others
works pretty much every where; my mother is implementing it in Ontario
after all, and my father has done so all over the world.  It is the
minor trick of starting meetings that you arrive late at by apologising
to everybody for wasting their valuable time which I am not sure 
translates to all cultures.  I could be wrong, but I think that if I
tried that in the USA I would run a strong risk of being laughed at,
which is not the effect you want if you are trying this.
