Some like the Neuschwanstein, Oktoberfest, some the beer, some like the Weisswurst, and in most cases it'll be simply the fact that it's the only province they know of. As I was still foreign enough to like Bavaria, it was because I liked BMW's (Bikes rather than cars), and because it was the only province I knew. Alas, when you learn to know it better... In fact, that's the most conservative, provincial, reactionary, clerus-infested part of germany. For example, in whole of Bavaria there's only two places that will do abortions - "abortion tourism" is a term coined to describe bavarian women travelling to the more liberal north to abort a child. Or another one: it's still mandatory to have crucifixes in bavarian schoolrooms, although the "Verfassungsgerichtshof" - the supreme court - decided on several occasions that it's against the constitution. It's the german version of the "bible belt". As a commie, liberal and a foreigner I'd prefer living somewhere else. The good thing about german citizenship is that it's in fact an EU citizenship, so you don't have to live in germany. You can live somewhere more pleasant like Spain, Holland, France... When I apply for an austrian citizenship it'll have the sole purpose of enabling me to quit Austria. Not quite the idea behind citizenship grants, eh? > Of course, if I can, I > ~will~ profit from idiotic legislation. And why not?

My rants about it weren't intended to discourage you in any way. Just go ahead, Fritz.
