Johor Bahru

What are the most challenging aspects of the new culture?

Expats in Johor Bahru often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate for those who are not familiar with them. Furthermore, the local cuisine can be quite different from what expats are used to, and it can take some time to adjust to the flavors and ingredients. Finally, the hot and humid climate can be a shock to those who are not used to it.
