I am not attacking or criticizing locals (although I believe no one should be exempted from criticism as long as it is constructive and not offensive) , I am criticizing the unfortunate culture of "fear" or the culture of "we and them" in a supposedly open to others society . The problem is going beyond shared accommodation now.. it about the mentality itself of some expats who travel thousands of miles away from their own culture and prefer to stay and communicate only with it. This culture of "fear of others" is presented to us expats from the day one we arrive through many channels, one of which is the local culture.. I will feel more confident and happy when I see a group of different nationalities (including locals also) sitting on same table at coffee shop discussing and talking .. I am supporting this kind of mentalities not the (accommodation for only xyz ) mentality
