Hamburg Business Pulse
- Culture Practical, reliable, and trade-focused. Values the "Hanseatic" tradition of integrity.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Business culture is direct, efficient, and honest. Reliability is the most important trait. Respect the standard 9-5 work day strictly; calling after 6:00 PM is considered unprofessional and intrusive.
Kuala Lumpur Business Pulse
- Culture Multicultural and professional. Values harmony and respect.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Longer on Fridays).
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. On Fridays, avoid the 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM window due to congregational prayers. Malaysia is multicultural (Malay, Chinese, Indian); be respectful of varying religious observances and holidays. Business is generally professional, polite, and consensus-oriented.
