What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Montevideo often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the official language and not everyone speaks English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. The local cuisine, heavily based on meat, can be a challenge for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions. Additionally, the "manana" attitude, where things are often put off until tomorrow, can be frustrating for those used to more punctual cultures. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy can be difficult for expats, as it can be complex and time-consuming," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Montevideo, Uruguay.
