What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Mercedes. They wrote...
"Expats in Mercedes 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 pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is significantly slower compared to what many expats are used to, which can lead to frustrations when dealing with bureaucratic processes or business transactions. Additionally, the concept of punctuality is different in Uruguay, with locals often arriving late to social events, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to. The local cuisine, heavily based on meat, can also be a challenge for vegetarians or those with specific dietary needs. Lastly, while Uruguayans are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time to form deep, meaningful friendships, which can lead to feelings of isolation for some expats," commented one expat who made the move to Mercedes, Uruguay.
