I've always viewed Austria as more sophisticated, aristocratic, "old school" Europe (as well as very Catholic), the last remnant of an ancient dissolved empire, compared to Germany's industrial, tech-heavy, modern, born and shaped by recent times nation-state. When I think of Vienna I think of sophistication, elaborate architecture, and Beethoven. When I think of Berlin I think of the 1980's punk rock culture teenagers who then grew and became successful but lonely business people.

So what is next? How similar are France and Belgium? How different are they?
How about US and Canada? Or US and UK?
