Berlin Business Pulse
- Culture Direct, efficient, and values privacy. Clear separation between work and personal life.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Germans value efficiency and direct communication; do not be offended by a lack of small talk. Respect the strict 9-5 (or 8-4) work day. Calling after 6:00 PM or on weekends is considered a major intrusion into private life.
Incheon Business Pulse
- Culture Global-looking, logistics-heavy, and closely linked to Seoul. Values speed and connectivity.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. As a major logistics and aviation hub, business is fast-paced and international. Punctuality and rapid response times ("Pali-pali") are expected. Follow formal hierarchical protocols strictly in all professional communications.
