They remarked on seeing so much homelessness and some anti-social behaviour-kids on the LUAS acting up, and also that Dublin wasn't anywhere near as clean or organised as they are used to in most German cities. They weren't complaining, I just heard them say it to each other in German.

Then again Germany only rebuilt since the bloody Nazis destroyed half the world, but ze Churmans are a special case in just being bloody good at everything.
