Kaohsiung Business Pulse
- Culture Industrial, pragmatic, and more relaxed than Taipei. A major port and manufacturing hub.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Kaohsiung business is practical and trade-oriented. While hierarchy is respected, the vibe can be slightly more informal than in Taipei. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch and rest window strictly for all professional calls.
Seattle Business Pulse
- Culture Tech-heavy, casual, and values innovation and nature.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a casual professional environment (lots of tech-casual wear). Networking often happens over coffee; many locals are flexible with virtual meeting times but value their time in nature, so avoid late evening or weekend intrusions.
