Bucharest Business Pulse

  • Culture Energetic, polyglot, and tech-focused. Rapidly growing as a European service hub.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Romanians are generally very multilingual (English is the standard for tech) and professional. Business culture values personal rapport; a warm but professional tone is the most effective for long-term collaboration.

Shanghai Business Pulse

  • Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
  • Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
