What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in San Jose often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, the concept of 'manana' or 'tomorrow' can be frustrating for expats as locals tend to have a more relaxed attitude towards time and deadlines. The local cuisine, heavily based on meat and dairy products, may also pose a challenge for vegetarians or vegans. Lastly, adjusting to the local customs and social norms, such as the traditional afternoon siesta and late-night dinners, can be difficult for some expats," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to San Jose, Uruguay.
