What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Can Tho. They wrote...
"Expats in Can Tho often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not many locals speak English fluently. The local cuisine can also be a challenge for some, as it is significantly different from Western food and may take some getting used to. The pace of life in Can Tho is slower than in many Western countries, which can be frustrating for expats who are used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, the local customs and etiquette can be difficult to understand and adhere to for those unfamiliar with Vietnamese culture. The hot and humid climate can also be a challenge for expats not used to such weather conditions. Lastly, the traffic and driving habits in Can Tho can be chaotic and stressful for expats, especially those who are used to more orderly traffic systems," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Can Tho, Vietnam.
