What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in the Shetland Islands may find the local dialect, Shetlandic, challenging to understand as it is a unique blend of Old Norse, Scots and English. The remote location and isolation of the islands can also be a challenge, with limited access to amenities and services that one might be used to in a larger city. The weather can be harsh and unpredictable, which can affect travel plans and outdoor activities. The local culture is deeply rooted in tradition and history, which might be difficult for expats to fully grasp and participate in. Additionally, the pace of life is much slower compared to urban areas, which might require a significant adjustment for newcomers. Lastly, while the community is generally welcoming, it can take time for expats to fully integrate and be accepted by the locals," remarked another expat who made the move to Shetland Islands, Scotland.
