None. My wife and I spend 4-5 months a year abroad, in 1-2 month increments in Air BnB apartments in big cities. We shop for food where the locals do. We take trains and busses. We meet local people, invite them to dinner in our home and come to theirs.
No, We spend 1+ months in Istanbul each year. The people are wonderful.
None. Except I get sick of having to come back "home" to the US. Home is Europe.
Food, adventure, ferry rides!!!, antiquities, getting lost.
Finding the basics.
I wanted sour cream. Didn't know Turks don't use it. Could not find it. So I got a grocery store manager, stood at the dairy counter, and said "Moo!" loudly and stuck out my tongue, grimacing. A customer then said "you won't find sour cream in Turkey."
I love people. All kinds. If you do, no problem. If you don't, good luck.
