Are the British really that different to their continental counterparts? To Bryony, the answer is a resounding YES. The Expat/Auslaender is the first in the series of how a small-town British girl navigates her way through the cultural minefields of life in Europe. Having so far only know a small Island (The Isle of Wight) and a slightly bigger Island (England), Bryony graduates in 1999 and leaves England's shores to live and work as an English teacher in Frankfurt. She dives into life (and dating) and discovers that German men are totally different to British lads and that dating in Germany is a whole different ballgame. She finds herself navigating cultural minefields to do with drafts, medical problems that no British doctor knows how to treat, nudity and the accidental condemnation of someone to 7 years of bad sex, all whilst finding herself slap-bang in the middle of a dark conspiracy. Will Bryony survive these intercultural minefields or will she end up back on The Island? Based on real life experiences this book will bring a smile to the face of anyone who has ever been an expat, an English teacher or ever escaped to/from the Isle of Wight.
