What do expats find most challenging?

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

"Expats in Sha Tin often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Cantonese is the primary language spoken and not everyone speaks English. The high cost of living can also be a significant challenge, particularly when it comes to housing. The fast-paced lifestyle and work culture in Hong Kong can be overwhelming for some expats, as can the high population density and lack of personal space. The local food and cuisine, while delicious, can also be a challenge for those not used to Asian diets. Lastly, understanding and adapting to local customs and etiquette can be difficult for newcomers," wrote a member who made the move to Sha Tin, Hong Kong.
