"Expats in Smith's often find the high cost of living to be a significant challenge, as the island is one of the most expensive places to live in the world. The limited availability of goods and services can also be a hurdle, as everything has to be imported, which can lead to shortages and high prices. The slower pace of life, often referred to as "island time", can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more efficient pace. Additionally, the Bermudian dialect and local slang can be difficult to understand for newcomers. Lastly, while Bermudians are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time for expats to fully integrate into the local community and social circles," remarked another expat in Smith's, Bermuda.
