    Weird Traffic lights, exotic police/ambulance sirens, restaurants and cafes with those tent so you can sit outside, gypsy beggars, the sense that nazi's where here once upon and time, and the potential of an allan attack at any moment, Town squares where English football hooligans congregate.

    That sort of thing?

    I think the phrase 'Fur coat and no knickers' could have been invented for the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

    Went there a couple of years ago. Lovely place imo. Terrible food, of course, but great wine. Very fond of it.
