What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Tanjong Pagar often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as the local dialects and languages can be difficult to understand and learn. The fast-paced lifestyle and work culture can also be overwhelming for some, as Singaporeans are known for their hard work and efficiency. The high cost of living, particularly for housing and dining, can also be a challenge for expats. Additionally, the hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for those used to cooler climates. Lastly, understanding and adapting to local customs and etiquette, such as the importance of saving face and the concept of "kiasu" or fear of missing out, can also be challenging for expats," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tanjong Pagar, Singapore.
