What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Iloilo City may find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as the majority of the population speaks Hiligaynon, a regional language, and English may not be widely spoken. The pace of life in Iloilo City is also significantly slower compared to Western countries, which can be a difficult adjustment for some expats. The local cuisine, which heavily features seafood and pork, may also be a challenge for those who are not accustomed to such foods. Additionally, the Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country, and the strong influence of religion in daily life may be challenging for expats from different religious backgrounds. Lastly, the tropical climate, with its high humidity and frequent typhoons, can be difficult for those who are not used to such weather conditions," said another expat in Iloilo City, Philippines.
