What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Aberdeen. They wrote...
"Expats in Aberdeen often find the local dialect, known as Doric, challenging to understand as it is significantly different from standard English. The weather can also be a challenge, as Aberdeen is known for its cold, windy, and often rainy climate. The local cuisine, which includes dishes like haggis and black pudding, may be unfamiliar and unappealing to some expats. Some expats may also find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace of life in Aberdeen compared to larger, busier cities. The Scottish drinking culture can be overwhelming for some, as social events often revolve around pubs and alcohol. Lastly, the reserved nature of the locals can be challenging for expats who are used to more outgoing and expressive cultures," explained one expat living in Aberdeen, Scotland.
