I was interviewed 10 days ago, and so were a number of other non-German nationals, for an article about our thoughts on Europe. The article appeared in the local section of a Munich newspaper and I feel all famous! I basically said that I was glad it had been so easy to settle in Munich as a national of a member European state - my Australian and American colleagues have much more bureaucracy to deal with. And I said that however integrated we Shellabears might feel in our little village, we are still a bit different and tend to amuse the neighbours with our habits :-)
