"Expats in St. George's often find the slower pace of life challenging, as the local culture values a relaxed approach to work and life, which can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more deadline-driven environment. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as while English is the official language, many locals speak Grenadian Creole. Understanding the local bureaucracy can be difficult, as it often lacks the efficiency and transparency that some expats may be accustomed to. Additionally, adjusting to the local cuisine, which is heavily based on spices and seafood, can be a challenge for some. Lastly, while Grenadians are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time for expats to fully integrate into the local community and understand the nuances of the local culture," remarked another expat in St. George's, Grenada.
