"Expats in Ipoh often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken in the area. Additionally, the local customs and etiquette can be difficult to navigate, as they are quite different from those of other countries. Additionally, the local cuisine can be quite different from what expats are used to, and it can take some time to adjust to the flavors and ingredients. Finally, the climate can be quite different from what expats are used to, and the heat and humidity can be difficult to adjust to," said a member in Ipoh, Malaysia.
