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.
Oslo Business Pulse
- Culture Values work-life balance and honesty. Informal but professional.
- Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM.
- Pro Tip Norwegians start their day early; 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM is the best window. The work day often ends early, especially on Fridays or during the summer (sometimes as early as 3:00 PM). Be direct, honest, and avoid any "hard-sell" tactics. Work-life balance is extremely respected.
