"Expats in Nassau often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The pace of life is slower and more relaxed than in many other countries, and the locals tend to be more laid-back and less focused on material possessions. Additionally, the local language, Bahamian Creole, can be difficult to understand for those who are not native speakers.
