Helpfulness
Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the catchy title of the 1992 bestseller by John Gray, succinctly expresses an ancient dilemma. What--if anything--do men's and women's brains do differently?
The general statement that men and women respond and behave differently under the same circumstances is true; For example, from the crib, male babies tend to be more aggressive and females more passive. As adults, in spatial operations, men have the edge in such skills as negotiating a maze, reading a map, and quickly discriminating between right and left. Men also perform better than women when asked to visualize an object and imagine rotating it. On the other hand, women tend to perform better than men when asked to look at objects of different shapes, sizes, and colors, and then to group them in some order.
This still doesn't explian why my female co-driver turns the map all around when I'm asking for the road to travel, while I like the map at one point so I can better visualize our position. Help!

It wasn't until I got to Trier, late on a Friday evening, that I remembered seeing its crime figures in a report on Germany. It was a blip on an otherwise low crime region, and out of proportion for a small town of this size. I guessed that it was some kind of anamaly due to some undisclosed reason, like Frankfurt's crime rate is unusually high because it's day time doubling of its population and the airport traffic.
Walking around Trier at night taking pictures, it felt that the crime figures might not be an anomaly at all. It's not like Trier is dangerous, this is Germany after all, but there did seem to be quite a bit of bad behaviour from the crowds of drunken teenagers. The first I saw was staggering across the Hauptmarkt, shouting angrily and stupidly at passers by. Then, around the corner, I came across a large crowd of drunken teenagers waiting for a bus, standing in a sea of broken beer bottles.
Not really a problem apart from the shouting and broken glass, but it did give the place an edge that I wouldn't expect of a small town in Germany.

It may be dangerous to allow certain travelling companions to walk on Simeonstrasse unattended.This may be true in most large cities but I find that wider level pedestrain sreets amplify shopping urges. Everything can be seen without the need to pursue narrow forbidding alleys and lanes. There is plenty of room to look in display window without being jostled, and in Trier there are no tiring hills.

A: You won't get a bus directly from Trier to Paris. The most straightforward route is probably Trier-Luxembourg-Paris.
