What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Mumbai. They wrote...

"Indians aim to please...my husband. My husband's British accent is easier to understand than my Texas accent so I have to be a bit in their face. India is a cash society and don't accept credit cards readily so we had a bit of cash flow issues at first. Being fashionable 30 minutes to hour late to an event is expected," remarked another expat in Mumbai, India.

"I work from home and this helps. I do miss being part of a small community and family," said a member in Mumbai, India.
