What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Geelong may find the local slang and accent challenging to understand initially. The laid-back lifestyle, while appealing to many, can also be a challenge for those used to a faster pace of life. The Australian sense of humor, which is often self-deprecating and sarcastic, can also be difficult to grasp for newcomers. Some expats may also struggle with the cultural importance placed on sports, particularly Australian Rules Football, which is a significant part of social life in Geelong. The cost of living can also be high, particularly in terms of housing and dining out. Lastly, the hot and dry climate can be a challenge for those used to cooler or more temperate weather," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Geelong, Australia.
