Christchurch Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, resilient, and professional. Values "kiwi ingenuity" and community.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Like the rest of New Zealand, the vibe is friendly and professional. Resiliency is a key trait here. Be mindful of the time difference; early morning in NZ is late afternoon on the US West Coast. Avoid calling late on Friday.
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.
