What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Clearwater Bay often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Cantonese is the primary language spoken and not everyone speaks English. They also struggle with the high cost of living, particularly in terms of housing and schooling. The densely populated environment can be overwhelming for those used to more spacious living conditions. The fast-paced lifestyle and work culture in Hong Kong can also be stressful for expats. Additionally, understanding and adapting to local customs and etiquette, such as gift-giving traditions and dining manners, can be difficult for newcomers. Lastly, the humid subtropical climate of Hong Kong can be uncomfortable for those who are not used to such weather conditions," said another expat in Clearwater Bay, Hong Kong.
