“Jean Traore, an exchange student from Burkina Faso in Eastern Africa, finds the concept of ‘wasting time’ confusing. ‘There’s no such thing as wasting time where I live,’ he observes. ‘How can you waste time? If you’re not doing one thing, you’re doing something else. Even if you’re just talking to a friend, or sitting around, that’s what you’re doing.”
from A Geography of Time by Robert V. Levine (p. 91)
