Expat Advice: Culture Shock in Montego Bay, Jamaica

Submitted by ResearchTeam

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Montego Bay

What are the most challenging aspects of the new culture?

Expats in Montego Bay often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as English is not the primary language spoken in Jamaica. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the pace of life to be slower than what they are used to, as well as the lack of reliable public transportation. Finally, the cost of living in Montego Bay can be higher than in other parts of Jamaica, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy.
