What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Oaxaca City. They wrote...
"Expats in Oaxaca City, may find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English, and it is essential to learn Spanish to communicate effectively. Additionally, the slower pace of life and the concept of "mañana" (meaning "tomorrow" or "later") can be frustrating for those accustomed to punctuality and efficiency. The local cuisine, while delicious, may be difficult for some to adapt to, especially if they have dietary restrictions or are not used to spicy foods. The noise levels, including loud music, fireworks, and street celebrations, can also be challenging for expats who are not used to such vibrant and lively environments. Finally, navigating the local bureaucracy and dealing with corruption can be a significant challenge for expats who are not familiar with the Mexican system," explained one expat living in Oaxaca City, Mexico.
