Markets so busy you struggled to walk round them
High streets that had lots and lots of interesting little shops (not the modern charity shops/estate agents/vape shops and fast-food outlets)
Cosy little cafes that sold home-cooked food
Red telephone boxes
Men wearing fedora hats (I've recently started wearing one!)
Women who made their own clothes (my mum made dresses for herself and my two sisters when we were all little kids)
Policemen on the beat in your area
Fireworks that were only heard on November 5th (in the UK)
Cars that had individuality and distinction, unlike modern 'clone cars' that all follow pretty-much the same design.
Busses that had hop-on/hop-off open platforms at the back and a conductor/conductress.
Fuel that doesn't cost and arm and a leg!
You would like Bavaria:
Busy Markets? Tick
Individual shops? Tick (And excellent department stores as we used to have)
Cosy cafes with excellent food? Tick
Men wearing hats? Tick (Maybe not fedora but Bavarian ones)
Policemen on the beat? Tick
Ok, 6 out of 11 isn't bad but there is one more excellent thing that happens in Bavarian towns and cities...
THE SHOPS DON'T OPEN ON SUNDAYS! HOORAY!!!
Bavaria it is.
I'll meet you at that nice little café in the corner of the market square, okay?
