Fukuoka Business Pulse
- Culture Energetic, entrepreneurial, and the gateway to Asia. Values innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Fukuoka has a strong start-up culture and is slightly more informal than Tokyo, but standard Japanese etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour for all professional inquiries.
Johannesburg Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced and competitive. The economic powerhouse of Africa.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. South African business culture is direct and professional. Be aware of "Load Shedding" (scheduled power outages) which can affect your contact's availability and connectivity; it is a common professional courtesy to check on this.
