What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Eleuthera often find the slower pace of life challenging, as the local culture values a laid-back, relaxed lifestyle which can be a stark contrast to the fast-paced life they may be used to. The island operates on 'island time', which means that things often don't start or finish on time, and this can be frustrating for those used to strict schedules. Another challenge is the limited availability of goods and services. Eleuthera is a small island and does not have the same variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options as larger cities. This can be a significant adjustment for expats who are used to having a wide range of options at their fingertips. Language can also be a challenge, as while English is the official language, the local dialect can be difficult to understand at first. The Bahamian Creole, a mixture of African, English, and other languages, is widely spoken and can be confusing for newcomers. Lastly, the cost of living can be high, especially for imported goods. This can be a shock for expats who are not prepared for the higher prices," commented one expat who made the move to Eleuthera, Bahamas.
