What do expats find most challenging?

"Expatriates in Ireland often find the country's strong emphasis on community, connectedness and communal activities to be very different from what they are used to in their own countries, making it a challenge to feel part of the local culture. Some expats find the wet climate and short days of winter to be very difficult to adjust to, while others struggle to understand the variety of regional accents and slang. Additionally, some may find that Irish culture is comparatively secular and that traditional Catholic mores are less prominent than in other parts of the world," remarked another expat in Ireland.

"Bureaucracy. Banks, Insurance, documents, learning bus routes and how to deal with rental agents. I had several problems with "owners" and their agents. No room here to tell all the stories. Did not know about need for TV license until neighbors told us after we bought new TV. License does not cost for 65 + but one still needs to get it. Took 4 months," said a member in Enniscorthy, Ireland.
