Barbadians have a strong sense of time. Local people believe that respecting others means observing the agreement and time. Make an appointment to meet, be punctual, and it is best to arrive 5 minutes in advance.

6. I didn't know until I got to Barbados. It seems that Barbadians have a grudge against money. Every weekend, the shops are closed. Even from Monday to Friday, Barbadians don't open until 9 o'clock. They have to rest for three hours at noon and close at 7 o'clock in the evening.
