Germany was a lot like that, I often wonder if it has changed. the little village I lived in had one small store that I shopped in frequently, but was closed by the time I got home. fortunately I had a US sized fridge and a large pantry, so continued to shop (mostly) like I did in the states. I could also call the Nanny or leave her a list of things to get. I tried to spend as much locally as possible, I worked pretty hard and not being the "ugly Americans" in the village. our son was welcome everywhere (daughter was too young) at we always had as many of the village kids over as possible for their birthdays. everyone wanted to come eat American cake and ice cream ;o)
