What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Cobh may find the local accent and dialect challenging to understand, as it can be quite distinct and different from standard English. The weather can also be a challenge, as it is often rainy and cold, which may not be comfortable for those used to warmer climates. The pace of life in Cobh is slower than in many other places, which can be difficult for those used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Some expats may also find it challenging to integrate into the close-knit community, as locals tend to have deep-rooted connections and traditions. The cost of living can also be high, particularly for housing, which may be a challenge for expats. Lastly, while Ireland is known for its friendly people, some expats may find the local humor and banter difficult to understand or get used to," said another expat in Cobh, Ireland.
