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 Geoje. They wrote...

"Expats in Geoje often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the local dialect can be difficult to understand. The food can also be a challenge for some, as Korean cuisine is quite different from Western food and can be very spicy. The work culture in Korea is also very different, with long hours and a hierarchical structure that can be difficult for foreigners to navigate. Additionally, the concept of "saving face" is very important in Korean culture, and this can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or miscommunications. Finally, the pace of life in Geoje can be slower than what many expats are used to, which can require some adjustment," commented one expat who made the move to Geoje, Korea.
