What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Budapest. They wrote...
"Corruption, decades of communist rule have influenced the work ethos, the way the government let's the country run into deeper trouble, lack of truly free press and objective reporting, shady party financing," said another expat in Budapest, Hungary.
"Expats in Budapest often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Many locals speak Hungarian, which is a difficult language to learn for those who are not native speakers. Additionally, the Hungarian culture is quite different from many other cultures, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the local customs and etiquette. Furthermore, the cost of living in Budapest can be quite high, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," wrote a member who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.
