All very interesting.

I remember dining at a small place in Salzburg, the waitress brought us each a very small glass of water, presuming correctly that we were Americans. I never made it to Berlin but boy would I love to go back some day. My adult son speaks pretty fluent German and I told him some time he will have to take his Mom back there for a trip.

Same in Finland and Sweden with the ice-less drinks. In Finland, they drop whatever they're doing mid morning and mid afternoon to sit and have coffee, the strong kind served in little cups. Of course I was there a long time ago, maybe it's different now.
