Having a laugh?

[WienA]

I just googled Austrian retirement and found this on a page called 'How to retire without money - Austria'

THE AUSTRIANS. Theoretically the Austrians are a branch of the Germans. The name of their country means "Eastern Germany." However, in spite of the fact that the language has no differences, Austrians and Germans are nearly as different as Greeks and Norwegians.

It's a matter of gemuetlichkeit. It's a matter of an easy going, kindly, friendly, gay approach to life. You find little grimness among the Austrians. They love life, nature, good food, good drink, good companionship. They're in no hurry, either to get rich or to get to whatever destination they might have at the time. An Austrian from Vienna, in short, would drive a good Prussian resident of Berlin, stark raving; and vice versa.
