Brussels Business Pulse
- Culture International and bureaucratic due to EU presence. Values compromise and multilingualism.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Business here is often international; ensure you know which linguistic community (French/Dutch) your contact belongs to, or use English as the professional bridge. Expect a focus on protocol and consensus.
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.
