[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is married to a Greek, and I was appalled to hear their opinions about the US, the Americans, school system, etc. yet, no one is going back to Greece.
It's just a normal part of immigrant behavior. [b]Americans living in other countries are also guilty of it.[/b][/quote]

This. And some Americans also self segregate in expat communities abroad too. What's the point in going over to a foreign country if you only want to be amongst Americans and live like you still live in America?[/quote]

As an expat living abroad, I have to agree with this. [/quote]

I disagree with you.  I was an expat for 6 years in the Netherlands.  Despite the # of Americans living in Amsterdam, most of our friends from that time are Dutch.[/quote]
Everyone's experience is different, I guess. My cousin living in Amsterdam says it's practically impossible to make Dutch friends. Her social circle consists of expats from all over the world, so it's not that she prefers the company of people from her own country. [/quote]
