nutella, duh. ok, something more creative... the way they embrace nature, as opposed to the way we embrace plastic. hmmmmm, nature, plastic, nature, plastic.... tough one. spiced peanuts in the little stands. crepes, glorious crepes, with sugar and cinnamon, nutella, applesauce, even ham and cheese. (different crepe though). bakeries and butchers. tea. mounds and mounds of tea, all flavors, all scents, all colors. people walking everywhere. you actually see people when you look out the window. cobblestone roads. the ones where you turn an ankle when you are all dolled up and lookin cute with your stiletto heels on. yeah, those cobblestone roads. people with good fashion sense, and then those without any... history. not as in "this church was built before i was even born!" but as in this church was built before this millennium. that people still drive on the right side of the road - praise the lord! the type A public transportation system. i never really wonder if the train is coming or not - it will be there, at the right time, in the right place, period. the ever creative use of scarves as fashion or defense against the cold. no crazy annoying salespeople in stores. in fact, you might have to hunt one down. if it's 10 degrees below freezing, there are still people outside. they do that. they turn off the car when sitting at a stoplight. it saves the ecosystem. there are four different recycling containers where we would have one trash can. i still can't figure out the complexities of where it all goes. they open their windows in the winter for fresh air... ahhh... germany...
