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 Singapore. They wrote...

"Expats in Singapore often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Many find the pace of life to be quite fast and the cost of living to be quite high. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for some expats, as English is not the primary language spoken in Singapore. Furthermore, the local culture is quite conservative, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the strict rules and regulations that are in place. Finally, the humidity and heat can be a challenge for some expats, as Singapore is a tropical country," remarked another expat who made the move to Singapore, Singapore.

"When I lived in Singapore, the most challenging aspects were leaving behind the lessons learned while in Singapore. Applying lessons learned in my daily life tended to isolate me from my core friends. They did not like the changes seen in me," explained one expat living in Singapore, Singapore.
