What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Bohol Island. They wrote...
"Expats in Bohol Island, may find the local culture challenging in several ways. They might struggle with the language barrier, as not everyone speaks English fluently, and understanding the local dialect, Bisaya, can be difficult. Adjusting to the concept of "Filipino time," where punctuality is not strictly observed, can also be frustrating for some expats. Additionally, adapting to the close-knit family culture and the importance of respecting elders might be challenging for those from more individualistic societies. The local cuisine, which heavily features pork and seafood, may not suit everyone's taste or dietary preferences. Lastly, expats may find it difficult to navigate the sometimes indirect communication style of Filipinos, who often prioritize harmony and politeness over direct confrontation," explained one expat living in Bohol Island, Philippines.
