What do expats find most challenging?

"Getting to know people. How strangely people look at me when I prefer to drink a glass of water instead of a "bebida" (pop/soda), and when I want to use my own bags at the supermarket instead of getting the bag-boy to give me a new bag for every two items I buy," said a member in Valparaiso, Chile.

"One of the most challenging aspects of the local culture for expats in Chile is the language barrier. Many Chileans speak Spanish as their first language, and while some may be able to communicate in English, it is not as widely spoken as in other countries. Additionally, the Chilean culture is quite different from many other countries, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the local customs and traditions. Furthermore, Chileans tend to be quite reserved and formal in their interactions, which can be difficult for expats who are used to more casual interactions," remarked another expat who made the move to Chile.
