Cape Town Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more relaxed than Jo'burg but professional. Creative and tech-focused.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Capetonians value their quality of life, so business often has a slightly more relaxed pace than in Johannesburg. Relationship building is important. Be mindful of potential "Load Shedding" (power outages) affecting connectivity.
Chengdu Business Pulse
- Culture Known for a better work-life balance than the coast. "Lively and relaxed".
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Chengdu business is famous for being done over local tea or spicy Sichuan food; if on a video call, keep the atmosphere warm and friendly. Personal rapport is more important here than in the high-pressure coastal cities like Shenzhen.
