Budapest Business Pulse

  • Culture Hardworking and creative. Values intellectual debate and personal trust.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Hungarians value intellectual competence and deep discussion. Building personal trust is a prerequisite for long-term business; spend time on introductions. The culture is professional but appreciates a creative and thoughtful approach.

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.
