Well then, what is YOUR nomination for the most American-looking European
city? I am curious...

Yes, about 10-15 times, although admittedly not in the last 2-3 years.

I don't think so. AFAIK, FRA is only second to Berlin in the number of
foreigners/immigrants in Germany. My current home town is Los Angeles.
Right now, the temperature outside is a bright and sunny 19 deg. C, with
hardly a cloud in the skies. And so -- no, I don't confuse LA with FRA.
:-)
Btw, I wonder how many times was Mr. Schaetzl in LA, or in the US for
that matter. Foreign travel is such a mind opener...
