German cousin 1

I have a couple of friends from Austria and because they were in Berlin for some days, the question was asked, what distinguishes the Austrian of the German. It is said : the first one laughs, the other one not. Another peculiarity is that the one eats Wienerschnitzel, the other one prefers Currywurst - this last one is unmistakably a part of the German identity, a museum in Berlin is moreover dedicated to it recently. "As said Karl Valentin, a German humorist, "what separates the Germans of the Austrians, it is the common language". "The Austrians are Germans without sense of the Nazi guilt. They are more cheerful and politically more incorrect than the Germans. They annoy the Germans and laugh at them permanently. They are, in general, more creative and have a more pronounced humor. But they do not build cars, what makes that the Germans cannot take this ethnic group really seriously. "Another Austrain friend said that "The Germans are lazy. Their humor is very different from the Austrian one. They have no "schmäh". For your knowledge, "schmäh" is this attitude facing life, this funny disposal of the Viennese that allows him to resolve the conflicts between persons. "The Germans are very bureaucratic, very dogmatic. They submit themselves to the authority with happiness. They look towards the Prussia, us, towards at Italy. " The Austrian inherited this monarchic bureaucracy, which is a bureaucracy of theater with which we can always settle. The severity of the law is eased by a certain negligence. "Regarding the Nazi past, the Austrians arranged themselves to make guilty the Germans.
