% when I travel in Europe I notice this immediately...I tend to spend much
more time outdoors there than I do here in the US...this doesn't mean hiking
in the woods but walking in the city, spending time in outdoor cafe's,
hanging out in public squares/plaza's, walking in parks, etc...there isn't
as much of a tendency to 'nest' there as there is in the US...

%% and I also find the 'fringe music' scenes in Europe (e.g.,
electronic/computer music, avant-jazz, modern classical, new music, world,
etc) to be thriving more than here...
