Syncing between Barcelona and Seoul is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.
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.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
