What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Apaneca 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. They may also struggle with adjusting to the slower pace of life, which is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of many Western countries. The local cuisine, which is heavily based on corn, beans, and local fruits, may also be a challenge for those not accustomed to such foods. Additionally, expats may find it difficult to navigate the local customs and social norms, which can be quite different from their own. Lastly, safety can be a concern, as El Salvador has a high crime rate, and this can be a significant challenge for expats living in Apaneca," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Apaneca, El Salvador.
