But you are making assumptions which are not really true anywhere. Working hours I Spain and Germany are already white different. Main reason is of course that they share the same time zone by law, but are not geographically in the same time zone. But there are some additional differences in culture which extend this effect.
Sure, but it's still true that businesses operate during hours similar to any other places in the world. Even in Spain, ~9 to ~14 then ~17 to ~20, the day time hours are still in the "rest of the world bracket".
But if my plane lands at 9am local time, I know it's the morning at least and I can plan my day appropriately (stores will be open or opening soon instead of just closing for example)
