Barcelona Business Pulse
- Culture Dynamic, creative, and highly international. Values both innovation and local Catalan culture.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Avoid calling during the 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM lunch break. Best times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Barcelona is an international tech and design hub; the vibe is professional but creative. Relationship building is important, and a warm, engaged tone is appreciated.
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.
