Working across Seoul and Hong Kong

Seoul is a electronics city and Hong Kong a banking city; the two economies buy from each other rather than compete. Seoul runs 1 hour ahead of Hong Kong.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Seoul and 09:00–18:00 in Hong Kong. On the Seoul side the dates that break a schedule are Seollal (three days around Lunar New Year, January or February) and Chuseok (three days in September or October); on the Hong Kong side, Chinese New Year (three days in January or February) and National Day (1 October). Replies slow in Seoul during Chuseok and in Hong Kong during Chinese New Year.

Book between 10:00–17:00 in Seoul (09:00–16:00 in Hong Kong); 7 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
