What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Renesse may find the Dutch directness challenging as it can sometimes come across as blunt or even rude to those from more reserved cultures. The language barrier can also be a significant challenge, as while many Dutch people speak English, daily life and official matters are conducted in Dutch. The weather can also be a challenge, as it is often cold, rainy, and windy, which can be a significant adjustment for those from warmer climates. The Dutch culture of cycling everywhere can also be a challenge for those who are not used to it. Lastly, the Dutch bureaucracy can be difficult to navigate for expats, especially when it comes to matters like immigration, taxes, and healthcare," said another expat in Renesse, The Netherlands.
