What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Hue. They wrote...

"Expats in Hue often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and Vietnamese is a tonal language that can be difficult to learn. The cultural differences in communication style can also be challenging, as Vietnamese people tend to be indirect and non-confrontational, which can lead to misunderstandings. The concept of "saving face" is also prevalent in Vietnamese culture, which can make it difficult for expats to navigate social situations. Additionally, the pace of life in Hue is slower than in Western countries, which can be frustrating for expats who are used to a faster, more efficient pace. The local cuisine, while delicious, can also be a challenge for those who are not used to the flavors and ingredients. Lastly, the hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for those who are not used to tropical weather," wrote a member who made the move to Vietnam.
