What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Namur often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. While many locals do speak English, the primary languages are French and Dutch, which can make everyday tasks like shopping or using public transportation difficult for those who do not speak these languages. Another challenge is the Belgian attitude towards punctuality. Belgians are known for being very punctual and this can be a challenge for expats from cultures where time is viewed more flexibly. Additionally, the Belgian culture is often described as reserved and private, which can make it difficult for expats to form connections and friendships with locals. This can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. The bureaucracy in Belgium can also be a challenge for expats. There are often many rules and regulations to follow, and paperwork can be complex and time-consuming. Lastly, the weather in Namur can be a challenge for some expats, particularly those from warmer climates. The city has a temperate maritime climate, with relatively mild summers and cool, rainy winters," remarked another expat who made the move to Namur, Belgium.
