What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Matagalpa often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a more fast-paced, structured environment. Additionally, the lack of certain amenities and conveniences that are common in more developed countries, such as reliable internet or a wide variety of shopping options, can be difficult to adjust to. The local cuisine, while delicious, may also be a challenge for some expats due to its heavy reliance on beans, rice, and corn. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy can be a challenge due to different procedures and a lack of transparency," remarked another expat in Matagalpa, Nicaragua.
