What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Holland Village. They wrote...
"Expats in Holland Village often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as while English is widely spoken, the local Singlish dialect can be difficult to understand. The high cost of living can also be a shock, particularly when it comes to housing and car ownership. Some expats may struggle with the local food, which is heavily influenced by Chinese, Malay, and Indian cuisines and can be quite spicy. The hot and humid climate can also be difficult to adjust to, particularly for those from cooler countries. Additionally, Singapore has strict laws and regulations, and expats may find it challenging to understand and adhere to all of them. Lastly, while Singaporeans are generally friendly and welcoming, some expats may find it difficult to fully integrate into the local culture due to differences in social norms and practices," commented one expat who made the move to Holland Village, Singapore.
