What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats in Bukit Timah often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as the local dialects and Singlish can be difficult to understand. The high cost of living, particularly in terms of housing and schooling, can also be a major hurdle for many expats. The humid and hot climate can be uncomfortable for those used to cooler climates. The local food, while diverse and flavorful, can be a bit of a shock for those not used to spicy or exotic dishes. The strict laws and regulations in Singapore, such as those regarding littering and chewing gum, can also be a challenge for expats to adapt to. Lastly, the fast-paced and competitive nature of Singaporean society can be stressful for some expats," remarked another expat in Bukit Timah, Singapore.
