What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Cork. They wrote...
"Expats in Cork often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The Irish are known for their friendly and welcoming nature, but the slower pace of life can be a challenge for those used to a more fast-paced lifestyle. Additionally, the Irish have a unique sense of humour which can be difficult to understand for those not familiar with it. Furthermore, the Irish are very proud of their culture and language, and expats may find it difficult to integrate into the local community if they do not make an effort to learn the language and customs," said a member in Cork, Ireland.
