What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Kristiansand often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As Norwegian is the official language, many locals may not be able to communicate in English. Additionally, the Norwegian culture is known for its reserved nature, which can make it difficult for expats to make friends and build relationships. Furthermore, the cost of living in Kristiansand is quite high, which can be a challenge for expats who are not used to the high prices," said another expat in Kristiansand, Norway.
