Everything in Germany...
"... is ordered and impeccably clean. It is comforting to walk its streets. You can do a white glove test anywhere and not find any dirt. Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists obey all the rules of the road and each other.
One of the German's best traits is that they are dependable. It is sufficient that someone say something and you can be assured that it will be done; you can take a German at his word. The characteristics of being dependable are being punctual, fulfilling obligations, lending assistance when asked by colleagues and assuming personal responsibility. Among Germans this behavior is expected in all personal and commercial relationships. Undependable persons are marginalized and lose work opportunities.
The architecture of the country is also amazing to behold. It has a mixture of modern, technological and medieval side by side; a beautiful catwalk along which the fashionably dressed men and women can display their customary elegance. Paris and Milan may the fashion capitals of Europe, but in Germany you will see the latest fashion trends displayed on people in the streets. People live their lives as if they had walked of the pages of a trendy fashion magazine."

- If the train departs at 9:03, this means that at 9:02 and 50 seconds the doors close and the train departs at 9:03
