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.
Portland Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and values sustainability and technical excellence.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a very casual professional environment (informal dress is the norm). Punctuality is still important, but the vibe is collaborative and egalitarian. Many in Portland value their work-life balance, so avoid late evening calls.
