LOL.....
We were living in Germany.........
You shopped German.
You ate German (I love schnitzel).
We lived among them - no special enclaves or areas.
You had to learn the German language to fill in forms for driving licence, banks etc.
Our child went to the local juniors school from day 1 - learnt German as he went along.
There were no specialist butchers processing meat specifically for Brits (and there were a lot of us in and around the Frankfurt area).
We adapted - and survived - and stronger for the experience.
But I still drive German!
