Austrians

A saying: Birds of a feather flock together might come in handy when describing Austrians' main features. According to "The Xenophobe's guide to the Austrians" they strive to be one country when they can help themselves financially from the main Austrian budget, otherwise they are patriotic members of federal provinces.

Moreover, these are the characteristics that find common ground in Austria, no matter what their provenance is: miscegenation, devious, morose, time-serving, but on the other hand pleasure-loving as well as genial. Some federal provinces bordering on Swiss are deemed to have features, such as thrift, piety and stubbornness.

In historic terms, the whole nation was ruled with an iron fist. By the same token, here lies the root of Austrian ambivalent attitude to power. What is funny in my opinion, is the fact that Joseph II attempted to burry dead people in coffins already used for financial reasons.

A footling idea that European Union means living in England is the same as in Austria is not true. As a traditional nation, Austrians need time to be tampered with modernised way of live. Consequently, their religios holidays bespatter the calender and their workes get generous holiday allowances.

Austrians do not trust novelties for a simple reason;namely, they believe somebody will make money at their expences.

All in all, you cannot lump all Austrians together, cause each and every individual is beautiful and different.
