What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Bishan 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, particularly for housing and cars, can also be a shock for many expats. The hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for those used to cooler temperatures. The local food, while diverse and flavorful, can be a challenge for those with specific dietary restrictions or preferences. The fast-paced lifestyle and work culture in Singapore can also be stressful for expats. Lastly, understanding and adapting to local customs and etiquette, such as the importance of saving face and the concept of "kiasu" or fear of losing out, can be challenging for newcomers," remarked another expat who made the move to Bishan, Singapore.
