Look at these FruitLoops:
Wrong?Yeah! Where did the red, orange, blue ones go?!?! ToucanSam... slacker.
Muted is actually a good way to describe a lot of things over here. America has a snappy, crack, pop feel too it; Austria just keeps doing what is has always been doing...

Austria has a million little grocery stores, little pharmacies, little kebap stands.
America has Costco and Walmart!
Austria has a lot of old people that ride the public bus system.
America is more willing to serve, smile, and be friendly!
Austria uses trains as a common mode of transportation.
America is cleaner (people included)!

America has more better looking guys and cars!
Austria is slower (not talking about traffic).
America has more and better parties! (open house policy)
Austria is formal and frugal.
America makes less of a deal about money!
Austria only has 3 colors of FruitLoops. (Not even FruitLoops. How about LameLoops,)

Austria doesn't eat much fast food.
America flaunts trends! (organic, running, clothes, music, etc.)

Basically without blue or red loops they cannot deem themselves fruity or delicious. Shame on Kellogg Cereal Company. Shame shame shame.
Austrians are a great people, and Austria is a wonderful nation. Different is not necessarily better or worse, but just that - different. I trust that your experience in Austria will provide you with great memories that will last a lifetime.
Papai.
