What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Gold Coast often find the laid-back, relaxed attitude of the locals challenging to adapt to, especially if they come from a fast-paced, high-stress environment. The Australian slang and accent can also be difficult to understand for newcomers. Some expats may find the Australian sense of humor, which is often self-deprecating and sarcastic, a bit hard to grasp. The high cost of living in Gold Coast can also be a challenge for many expats. Additionally, the strong outdoor and sports culture might be overwhelming for those who are not used to such lifestyles. Lastly, dealing with the local bureaucracy and understanding the Australian tax system can be complex and confusing for expats," said another expat in Gold Coast, Australia.
