"Expats in Moalboal often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English fluently. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. The lack of certain Western amenities and conveniences can be difficult to adjust to. The local cuisine, which heavily features seafood and rice, may not suit everyone's taste. The tropical climate, with its high humidity and frequent rain, can also be a challenge for those not used to such conditions. Lastly, the local customs and social norms, which can be quite different from Western ones, may require some time and patience to understand and adapt to," said another expat in Moalboal, Philippines.
