What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Amalfi often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and communication can be difficult. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those used to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. The Italian concept of time, often referred to as "Italian time", where punctuality is not always a priority, can be frustrating for some. Additionally, the bureaucracy and red tape involved in dealing with administrative tasks can be overwhelming. The high cost of living and finding affordable housing can also be a significant challenge. Lastly, integrating into the close-knit local community and making friends can be difficult, as locals tend to have strong, established social circles," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Amalfi, Italy.
