"One of the most challenging aspects of the local culture for expats in Penzance is the language barrier. English is the official language, but many locals also speak Cornish, which can be difficult for expats to understand. Additionally, the local culture is quite traditional and conservative, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to. Finally, the weather in Penzance can be unpredictable, with strong winds and rain common throughout the year, which can be a challenge for expats who are used to more temperate climates," remarked another expat who made the move to Penzance, England.
