Sao Paulo Business Pulse
- Culture Warm and relationship-oriented. Personal touch and face-to-face (or video) meetings are preferred over emails.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
Yokohama Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, industrial, and closely linked to Tokyo. Values long-term corporate stability.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. As Japan's largest port, business is practical and trade-oriented. Standard Japanese etiquette (punctuality, politeness, formal protocol) is strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs.
