What kinds of problems will people have when they travel or live in a foreign country?

What problems do people encounter when traveling or living in other countries?

They will encounter various problems, some of which have never even thought of. One of the big problems is the language barrier. Take my trip as an example. Last Christmas Eve, I went to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. I ordered a car on GRABTAXI, a UBER like car ordering platform, and I had to pay a lot of extra fees because I misunderstood their language. At that time, I felt that if I could learn more practical Thai before coming to Thailand, my life in Thailand would be much easier.

They will get all kinds of problems that they even can’t imagine. One of the biggest problems should be the language barrier. Take a trip of mine for example. Last year before Christmas, when I was traveling to BKK, which is the capital of Thailand, I was overcharged for a long distance of car travel only because of the misunderstanding of their language when I was calling the Grabtaxi, which is a Uber-like car booking platform.  At that time, I thought life in Thailand could have been better if I just picked up some useful Thai langue.
