Addis Ababa Business Pulse
- Culture Diplomatic and growing rapidly. Home to the African Union.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Ethiopia uses its own unique 12-hour clock (counting from 6 AM as "Hour 1"); always clarify "European Time" or "GMT/UTC" when scheduling to avoid confusion. Business is polite, formal, and values personal trust.
Busan Business Pulse
- Culture Dynamic, industrial, and more direct than Seoul. A major maritime and trade hub.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Professionals in Busan are known for being more direct and expressive than in Seoul. The maritime and logistics sectors are very active. Hierarchy and punctuality are still strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
