[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left and live in Western Europe now, in a diverse mid-sized city. It’s not easy but I feel more peaceful on a day to day basis. My kids have nice friends at their school. We don’t own or need a car. Rent is inexpensive and groceries are significantly cheaper than the US. I don’t know if we’ll stay forever, but I’m glad we’re here now. [/quote] I am in the same situation. it's only been a year for us, I didn't realize how stressed I was about school shootings until I didn't have to worry about them anymore! It is true though- there are a LOT of muslims and sub saharan immigrants and they are everywhere. the principal of my kids school is Turkish German (was born in Berlin) , my German language teacher has kosovan/albanian parents. the Sunday convenience store is owned by a Pakistani guy . In my particular city there are a lot of second gen TAMIL Sri Lankans and ppl from Thailand so we have good Thai food aside from the ever present kebap shops plus a good asian food mart that stocks stuff like lao gan ma and bubble tea. Despite the diversity- people in general seem very well integrated though, it's still a European feeling community and the immigrants (including myself) speak the language and follow the social contract- doesnt feel like sharia law is coming but it is more conservative than it used to be in the past. there aren't any couples having sex in the park or topless sunbathers which is a change from when my in-laws would visit in the 70s and 80s.
