What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Szekesfehervar. They wrote...

"Expats in Szekesfehervar often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Hungarian is a unique and complex language that is difficult to learn, especially for English speakers. Another challenge is the reserved nature of Hungarian people. They are generally polite and respectful, but they may not be as open and friendly as expats from more outgoing cultures might expect. This can make it difficult to form connections and integrate into the local community. The bureaucracy in Hungary can also be a challenge for expats. Dealing with government offices, paperwork, and procedures can be a complex and time-consuming process. Additionally, some expats may find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace of life in Szekesfehervar. The city is less bustling and fast-paced than many Western cities, which can be a significant cultural adjustment. Lastly, while Hungary is becoming more diverse, it is still a predominantly homogeneous society. This can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation or exclusion among expats, particularly those from different racial or ethnic backgrounds," explained one expat living in Szekesfehervar, Hungary.
