What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Bray. They wrote...
"Expats in Bray may find the local accent and dialect challenging to understand, especially when first arriving. The Irish are known for their fast-paced speech and unique phrases, which can be difficult for newcomers to grasp. Another challenge could be the weather. Ireland is known for its unpredictable and often rainy climate, which can be a significant adjustment for those from sunnier or more stable climates. The Irish culture is also deeply rooted in tradition and history, which might be difficult for expats to fully understand or appreciate without prior knowledge or experience. This could potentially lead to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding. Additionally, the Irish are known for their love of socializing and drinking, particularly in pubs. For those who don't drink alcohol or prefer a quieter lifestyle, this aspect of the culture might be challenging to navigate. Lastly, while the Irish are generally friendly and welcoming, they can also be quite reserved and private. This might make it difficult for expats to form deep connections or feel fully integrated into the community," explained one expat living in Bray, Ireland.
