Bandera de México

/Sounds like "HOON" + "tah" (as in "taco")/

A work meeting in Mexico — that moment of the day where everyone gathers to discuss things that could probably be solved by email. Mexican juntas can last twice as long as necessary and end without any conclusions.

Example

"I have a junta with the director at 3."

"The junta ran long and I couldn't go eat."

Bandera de Colombia

En Colombia "ahora" puede significar "más tarde" o "en un rato", no necesariamente en este instante. Cuidado con la confusión: si un colombiano dice "ahora voy", puede que tarde un buen rato en llegar.
