Visitors to a Maori home in New Zealand cannot eat food until it has been blessed by an elder during a Powhiri welcome ceremony, which is a formal ceremony that takes place on a Marae and can last between 30 minutes to 3 hours. Punctuality is important in business meetings in New Zealand as unpunctual behavior may be seen as unreliable, and bargaining is discouraged as negotiations take time. Sheep outnumber people in New Zealand 10 to 1.
