What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Baguio city. They wrote...

"Expats in Baguio city may find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as the local dialect, Kankanaey, is widely spoken, in addition to Filipino and English. The local customs and traditions, which are deeply rooted in the city's indigenous culture, may also be difficult to understand and adapt to for foreigners. The local cuisine, which includes exotic dishes like pinikpikan (a chicken dish prepared in a unique way) and etag (smoked pork), may be challenging for expats to get used to. The city's high altitude and cooler climate, compared to the rest of the country, may also pose a challenge for some expats. Lastly, the slower pace of life in Baguio, compared to major cities, may be a difficult adjustment for expats used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle," remarked another expat who made the move to Baguio city, Philippines.
