"Expats in Brussels often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. With the city being a bilingual hub, many locals are fluent in both French and Dutch, making it difficult for expats to communicate. Additionally, the city's complex bureaucracy can be difficult to navigate, as many of the processes are not well-documented or easily accessible. Furthermore, the cost of living in Brussels is quite high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local lifestyle," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Brussels, Belgium.
