Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
Sofia Business Pulse
- Culture Energetic, tech-focused, and increasingly international. A growing hub for IT and services.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Bulgarians value personal rapport; a warm but professional tone is effective. The tech sector is very globalized and efficient. Punctuality is appreciated. Be prepared for direct and honest communication once trust is established.
