Just wanted to add that as a rule of thumb, Western cultures tend to be low-context, while Eastern cultures tend to be high-context.

This also ties in indirectly to punctuality of cultures I think. Lower context cultures tend to be punctual.

And I've felt the Eastern cultures are becoming lower context due to doing business with the West. This may or may not be a good thing.

PS: I'm from a high context culture, but I've lived in America for a while before returning back to my home country. Ever since, I've felt like something was off.
