Amsterdam Business Pulse
- Culture Egalitarian, direct, and values work-life balance. Hierarchy is minimized.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. The Dutch are famously direct; be prepared for honest, blunt feedback. They value efficiency and a pragmatic approach. Respect the 9-5 work day; unless it's an emergency, do not call after hours as work-life balance is strictly protected.
Fukuoka Business Pulse
- Culture Energetic, entrepreneurial, and the gateway to Asia. Values innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Fukuoka has a strong start-up culture and is slightly more informal than Tokyo, but standard Japanese etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour for all professional inquiries.
