  This rings a bell about something I caught wind of in
  the papers recently. It was just the opening salvo of
  a German-language article, with the rest locked behind a
  paywall. The part I could scope out basically said:

  (name abbreviated by me, "home" below refers to Germany)

|Whenever G. is back home for a few days, she just wants to
|get away: "In Germany, the men all walk around with such long
|faces, you immerse yourself in this gray world so quickly,"
|says the 65-year-old. In Italy, on the other hand, everyone
|says hello on the street, everyone is warm, helpful and in a
|good mood.

  I'm not totally convinced you can broad-brush those two countries
  based on that one personal experience, though.
