What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in the East Coast of Singapore often find the fast-paced lifestyle challenging, as the city-state is known for its efficiency and productivity. The local language, Singlish, a unique blend of English, Malay, Tamil, and Chinese dialects, can also be difficult to understand for newcomers. The high cost of living, particularly housing and car ownership, is another significant challenge. The humid tropical climate can also be uncomfortable for those accustomed to cooler climates. Additionally, understanding and adapting to the local customs and etiquette, such as the importance of saving face and the concept of "kiasu" or fear of missing out, can be difficult. Lastly, the strict laws and regulations, such as those related to littering, jaywalking, and chewing gum, can be a surprise for expats and require some adjustment," remarked another expat who made the move to EAST COAST, Singapore.
