What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in San Marcos La Laguna 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 speaks English. They may also struggle with adjusting to the slower pace of life, which is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Western cities. The lack of certain amenities and conveniences that they are used to, such as high-speed internet or a wide variety of grocery items, can also be challenging. Some expats may find it difficult to navigate the local customs and social norms, which can be quite different from their own. Additionally, the local transportation system can be confusing and unreliable, which can make getting around a challenge. Lastly, while the local people are generally friendly and welcoming, expats may still experience a sense of isolation or difficulty in fully integrating into the community," remarked another expat in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala.
