> Small things like the style of windows,

German windows design and their obsession with fresh air is such a subtle but absolutely fantastic part of their culture IMHO.

It is never a practical thing, and it happens even while you are happy where you land.

I really enjoy living in Norway. I miss the color of dirt and smell where I was in the US. I still find the color weird. It isn't to say that I don't like it or that one is better or worse, really, just one is more familiar. SImple as that.

Right, German windows are better in every way. I didn't say my nostalgia for home was at all rational :-)

I love Japanese roofs!
