"Expats in Penang often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate for those who are not familiar with them. Furthermore, the local cuisine can be quite different from what expats are used to, and it can take some time to adjust to the flavors and ingredients. Finally, the climate in Penang can be quite hot and humid, which can be a challenge for those who are not used to it," remarked another expat in Penang, Malaysia.
