Top of the morgen!: the misadventures of an Irishman in Germany

'Top of the Morgen!' charts the adventures of Laurence Falconer, a craic-loving Dubliner, as he tries to get to grips with a new life in Germany. In his hilarious, heart-warming and self-deprecating style, Laurence explores and celebrates the similarities between the Irish and the Germans (smashing pints) and some of the vast cultural differences (pretty much everything else). For no matter how much Laurence comes to love and admire his new home, one thing is for certain: Germans aren't Paddys. From attempts at raucous busking in a quaint and quiet German village to the conversational pitfalls that come about when 'grand' is your answer to a lot questions, Laurence steadfastly works his way through every conceivable blunder and escapade that thrive in the bewildering cultural gap between the Irish and the Germans.
