What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Mexico may find it difficult to adjust to the country's slower pace of life, as many aspects of the culture are much less rushed and hurried than in the expat's home country. Additionally, Mexico's social hierarachy and sense of respect for those in higher positions can be an adjustment for expats, and it is important to take into account one's place in the social context. Expats may also find that the predominance of Catholicism and its implications for some of Mexico's social customs can also be difficult to adjust to. Overall, nonverbal communication and body language may be more important in Mexico than in some expats' homelands, and understanding and mastering these shared cultural cues can be a challenge," remarked another expat in Mexico.

"Ha! this is easy. The most challenging aspects are adapting to the mentality (you have to literally dumb down to fit into society, for the most part). I have to be more flexible about time too," said a member in Queretaro, Mexico.
