"Expats in Punta Ballena 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. They may also struggle with the slower pace of life, which is a stark contrast to the fast-paced lifestyle in many Western countries. The laid-back attitude towards time, often referred to as 'Uruguayan time', can be frustrating for those used to punctuality and strict schedules. Additionally, the local cuisine, which heavily features meat, may be a challenge for vegetarians or those with specific dietary requirements. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy can be difficult due to the complexity and inefficiency of some systems," explained one expat living in Punta Ballena, Uruguay.
