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.
Washington D.C. Business Pulse
- Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
