What do expats find most challenging?

"Expatriates in Guadalajara often find the local language, customs and dress to be challenging. Many locals speak Spanish and those who don't speak Spanish can have difficulty communicating and interacting with their new neighbors. Likewise, cultural norms such as the importance of family, the close-knit Catholic community and the extended siesta time can all be difficult to adjust to. Moreover, adjusting to the sweltering heat and lack of air-conditioning is another aspect of the local culture that can be particularly hard for some," remarked another expat who made the move to Guadalajara, Mexico.

"The utter lack of punctuality. The casual approach and the scandalous leeway business and professionalism are given. The poverty, perhaps, is the most jarring of them all. Be prepared to be galvanized by it," explained one expat living in Guadalajara, Mexico.
