American Themed Restaurants... shudders ...other people on my study abroad wanted to go to those every so often but I just told them to have fun and headed down to the nearest decent boulangerie. That's very interesting, I wasn't aware that ex-pat communities are a thing that happens in different countries, though it makes sense. I can definitely see people from the same area grouping together and kind of closing themselves off from the rest of the country. Actually, that's kind of what happens with a lot of the Indian population at my University come to think of it. I'd love to hear more about your experiences as an ex-pat. What country did you live in, and did you already have experience with the language and culture prior to living there?
