"Expats in Chicago often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The city is known for its diverse population, and many expats find it difficult to adjust to the different customs and traditions. Additionally, the city's harsh winters can be a challenge for those who are not used to the cold weather. Expats may also find it difficult to navigate the city's public transportation system, as well as the cost of living, which can be quite high," said another expat in Chicago, the United States.
