Differences between Austria and USA

Much of the local food is fried here, just about everything you can think of. They eat a lot of Rye bread. I'm eating more white bread here, then what I eat back in the US. There have been a few comments made about how Americans only eat white bread. No one carries a water bottle around, I get many looks and questions about mine.
Ice cream comes in many different flavors, I'm use to different treats or toppings, and no one explains to me what the different flavors are. All juice gets water added either tap or mineral, does differ from family to family. Lots of Muslie, granola, some with a lot of sugar some with less. This is considered good healthy breakfast.
There are doors to every room and they are kept closed most of the time. Most places have no carpeting. Sometimes there are some rugs, but mostly there is tile and wood for the flooring.
I have seen a few doors and windows with screens, but not a lot. Beer has a lower alcohol content, then what we have in America. Cars almost everyone has a standard or stick shift. There is lots of singing. People just hanging out and sing.There are many English songs on the radio. British English and American English are very different. They learn British English here. Many people here chew Orbitz gum, I enjoy chewing gum :) and it can come in aspirin-like bottles. There is no yellow mustard, only brown or spicy mustard. I love all of the mustard here and it's everywhere, this is the way life should be.
Grocery stores: you need to bring your own basket to put your groceries in, or if you need a bag you have to buy one. You have to bag your own groceries. I think this needs a little improving, the cashier moves everything very quickly to a small area and then you have to pay and then pack your stuff, all before the next person gets their grocers. A bigger area I think would help. Oh, and the cashier sits in a chair and instead of a drawer popping out it has a cover that pops up. I like that better.
