- All over Europe we have seen lots and lots of the new windmills-everywhere.
- There are a lot of Japanese tourists and in many places the signs are bilingual with the second language being Japanese.
- No matter what the weather or how cold it is, Europeans love to sit outside at cafes.
- In every country that we visited the stop signs are all in English.
- They like to eat lunch at 2 and dinner at 8.
- Europeans are very hearty. They walk or bike everywhere no matter how hilly.
- The church bells ring alot and there are lots of them in every town.
- Most of the time you have to pay to pee.
- The autobahn is loads of fun.
- They eat lunch food-like cold cuts and cheese and pickles and olives for breakfast.
- No hotel bed had a top sheet--they use duvets for the top cover even when it is hot.
- Only the castle hotel had a facecloth. Not one to be found anywhere else.
- There is a decided lack of street signs all over Europe.
- They have very sexy billboard ads like you would never see in Texas and in a couple of places we were channel surfing-during prime time-and came upon porn being shown on regular TV.
- The parking garage machines may be exactly alike in different cities, but they don`t neccessarily work the same.
- In Germany we were in a restaurant where there was a Bavrian floor show. There were two young boys folk dancing and when they finished they went behind the bar and drew themselves a large glass of beer. They start them young!
- You really can ride the trams without buying a ticket, because no one ever checks.
- Zurich isn`t worth visiting.
