I remember feeling mortified returning back to London with some German
friends after spending two weeks in Munich. They were shocked just how
expensive the Stanstead "Express" was (and not impressed that one carriage
was covered in vomit). Then we transferred to the (delayed) Circle line,
which turned up covered in graffiti and full of litter. It certainly does
make you question how the 4th richest country in the world has a capital
city like this ...


MX of Munich (and Bavaria in general) is that it's refreshingly
graffiti-free, just like the North West of England as compared with
London (though it's getting worse). However, go to Hamburg and
there's hardly a surface (including trains, often inside as well)
where it is not found.
