What do expats find most challenging?

"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.
