What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Bonn often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the local dialect can be difficult to understand. The German bureaucracy can also be a challenge, as it requires a lot of paperwork and can be quite complex. Additionally, some expats may struggle with the German cultural norms, such as directness in communication, punctuality, and a general sense of formality in social interactions. The reserved nature of Germans can also be difficult for expats from more outgoing cultures, as it can be perceived as cold or unfriendly. Lastly, the high cost of living in Bonn can be a challenge for some expats, particularly those from countries with a lower cost of living," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bonn, Germany.
