What do expats find most challenging?

"A delightful challenge is to let go of the "pressue cooker" lifestyle which I lived while climbing the ladder of success. The language, until I learn more, is still slightly a challenge. And, since I really enjoy knowing what's going on in the country in which I live, I really find it challenging that I don't understand the politics of the county. Lastly, I find it very difficult to find other expats to socialize with. Where are you all hiding?," explained one expat living in Tequisquiapan, Mexico.

"One challenge faced by expats in Tequisquiapan is the language barrier. As Spanish is the primary language spoken in Tequisquiapan, expats may find it difficult to communicate effectively with the locals. Additionally, because Tequisquiapan is a small town located in rural Mexico, there are fewer opportunities for expats to practice their language skills. Additionally, different cultural customs may be alien to expats, such as the custom of dining late in the evening and the emphasis put on close relationships with family. Furthermore, Mexican etiquette dictates different norms than many expats may be used to, such as the practice of being punctual. Consequently, many expats find the local culture of Tequisquiapan to be both fascinating and challenging," said another expat in Tequisquiapan, Mexico.
