What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Pune often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the cultural norms and expectations can be difficult to navigate, as they are often quite different from those of the expat's home country. Furthermore, the climate can be difficult to adjust to, as the summers are hot and humid and the winters are cool and dry. Finally, the traffic and transportation system can be overwhelming, as it is often congested and chaotic," wrote a member who made the move to Pune, India.

"Language. Having to plan quite carefully for evenings and weekends. We (and most expats) have a driver and once he has gone home we are restricted to the local neighborhood. We are fortunate insofar as a lot of restaurants and shops are within walking distance but we have colleagues who are pretty isolated once their driver goes home. We miss being able to be spontaneous and just go for a drive later in the day, or just go to a restaurant the other side of town or have an evening drive to the hills to watch the sunset. We miss that quite a lot," explained one expat living in Pune, India.
