What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats in Perth may find the local dialect and accents challenging to understand, as Scottish English can be quite distinct and different from standard English. The weather can also be a challenge, as it can be quite cold and rainy, especially in the winter months. Some expats may find the local cuisine difficult to adapt to, as it includes dishes like haggis and black pudding that may be unfamiliar to them. The pace of life can also be slower than what some expats are used to, which can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, some expats may find it challenging to integrate into the local community, as Scots are known for their strong sense of national identity and pride. Lastly, the cost of living can be high, particularly in terms of housing and utilities, which can be a challenge for expats on a tight budget," remarked another expat who made the move to Perth, Scotland.
