What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic 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 pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is typically slower than what many expats are used to, which can lead to frustrations when dealing with bureaucratic processes or business transactions. Additionally, the local driving habits and traffic can be chaotic and stressful for expats not used to such conditions. The high levels of poverty and inequality can also be difficult for some expats to adjust to. Lastly, while Dominicans are generally friendly and welcoming, cultural differences in communication styles and social norms can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or feelings of isolation," commented one expat who made the move to Santiago de los Caballeros, the Dominican Republic.
