What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Wollongong may find the local dialect and slang challenging to understand, as Australian English can be quite different from other forms of English. They may also struggle with the laid-back, casual attitude that is common in Australian culture, which can be a stark contrast to the more formal and structured social norms in other countries. The Australian sense of humor, which is often self-deprecating and sarcastic, can also be difficult for expats to grasp. Additionally, the strong sports culture in Wollongong and Australia as a whole can be overwhelming for those who are not particularly interested in sports. Lastly, the isolation of Wollongong, being a smaller city located some distance from larger cities like Sydney, can be challenging for expats used to a more cosmopolitan lifestyle," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Wollongong, Australia.
