If you're calling from the US East Coast (UTC-5/-4), the 6-hour time difference means calling between 3-11 AM your time works well, while those in Asia should call in their late afternoon or evening hours.

Most businesses operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with many shops and smaller businesses closing for lunch between noon and 2:00 PM, though this varies by region and industry.
