What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Sigatoka often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as the majority of the population speaks Fijian or Fiji Hindi. The slower pace of life, known as 'Fiji time', can also be a challenge for those accustomed to more fast-paced, punctual societies. The traditional hierarchical social structure can be difficult to navigate for those unfamiliar with it. Additionally, the high importance placed on community and family might be overwhelming for those who are used to more individualistic cultures. Lastly, adapting to the local diet, which is heavily based on root crops and seafood, can also be a challenge for some expats," remarked another expat in Sigatoka, Fiji.
