Tom - Bavaria is a beautiful country, just like a fairy tale wonderland. Bavarians are rough and hearty folks, with a touch of arrogance. For over 100 years, they have been living of the contributions coming from Prussia - King Ludwig 2nd was dead broke. All his beautiful castles had been paid for by the Prussian tax payer. Up until the 1980´s, Bavaria received heavy subsidies from our Federal Government. Basically, the like/dislike for Bavaria and Bavarians has historical reasons, as described earlier. One has to know that Germany has never been that one nation, even under the rule of that certain Austrian. Austria is a different story - Vienna is geographically located in Austria, but has a much more multicultural background. There is some kind of a champagne atmosphere in the air, whereas the rest of that country is going for beer and schnaps. I like Vienna very much and have spend a lot of time in this wonderful city. When I talk about Austrians, I exclude the people in Vienna [(-D] I also like the Bavarian countryside, but would not want to live there. Hamburg is my place, it is a rich city, with open minded people. No wonder, it´s been Germany´s gate to the world for many centuries.
