Austria is a weird country

Much as I am for cultural diversity, once in a while I come across a person which I take an instant dislike to and I tend to judge the whole country based on them. Right now Austria is that country. I always had a vague view of Austria as being "gemütlich", nice and friendly people before I got to know this person. Lots of wienerschnitzel, sing-along-music, cozy little bars, old-fashioned and poor cousins to Switzerland and Germany. I think that picture is changing to be more in line with Fritzl now. Sad, ain't it? Which makes me think of what people judge Scandinavia on? I hope it would be more Ikea, Lego, ABBA, ball-bearings, Nokia and Ericsson, GPS (tom-tom's) and the likes. Not judged on me. Don't think that would be very good...
