What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Brunei. They wrote...
"Expats in Brunei often find the local culture to be quite conservative and traditional, which can be challenging to adjust to. The country is also quite isolated, so it can be difficult to find a sense of community and make friends. Additionally, the local language, Malay, is not widely spoken, so communication can be a challenge. Finally, the cost of living in Brunei is quite high, so expats may find it difficult to maintain their desired lifestyle," commented one expat who made the move to Brunei.
