[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just looking to start a conversation about interesting/amusing things you've seen in other countries.

I'll start: When I was in Switzerland, I never saw anyone jay walk. It was fascinating. People stopped and waited for the crosswalk light to come on, even if there weren't any cars coming. For some reason I loved the orderliness of it.[/quote]

My SIL crossed against the light (jaywalked) in Austria with my DD and some guy driving along actually pulled over in his car and started yelling at her in German.[/quote]

PP here...another Austia observation...dogs allowed everywhere including restaurants and public transportation. Most Austrian dogs are impeccably trained but I couldn't get over being stared at by hungry dogs while eating out. The one place they were not allowed was the grocery store and there were designated places where you cold tie up your dog while ou shopped. When you entered a grocery store, the  lonely dogs would stare at you longingly.[/quote]
