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.

Osaka Business Pulse

Culture Slightly more pragmatic and direct than Tokyo. Known for a entrepreneurial spirit and "Kuidaore" (eat until you drop).
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Osakans are known for being slightly more informal and direct than people in Tokyo, but standard Japanese business etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
