"Expats in Olon often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, adjusting to the local customs and traditions can be difficult, particularly for those who are not familiar with Latin American culture. The lack of certain amenities and services that they might be used to in their home countries can also be a challenge. Lastly, dealing with the local bureaucracy and understanding the legal system can be complex and frustrating for expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Olon, Ecuador.
