    I absolutely agree, when I lived in Brussels I made a deliberate point of avoiding the ex-pat communites (British, Irish & American) and went out of my way to make friends amongst the locals; as I wanted to enjoy and understand the local way of life. However it is not just anglo-saxons that do this, it is a feature of most cultures/nationalities particularly where there is a language difference and is fully understandable as we all want to feel comfortable and that comfort is drawn from commonality. For example just look at the Turkish communities in say Green Lanes in London, or Schaerbeek in Brussels, or the Senegalese and Congolese enclaves in St Giles in Brussels, the Caribbean communities in South & West London etc. etc.
