What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Tagaytay City. They wrote...

"Expats in Tagaytay City may find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as the primary language spoken is Filipino, and while English is widely spoken, it may not be the first language for many locals. The pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is generally slower compared to Western countries, which can lead to perceived inefficiencies or delays. The local cuisine, which is heavily based on meat and rice, may also be a challenge for those who are used to a different diet. The concept of "Filipino time", where events often start later than scheduled, can be frustrating for those used to strict punctuality. Lastly, the high level of humidity and heat can be difficult for those who are not used to tropical climates," said a member in Tagaytay City, Philippines.
