Had to get some medical help at a youth hostel (idiotic injury honestly) today here in Luxembourg. There were a lot of people milling around who didn't seem like the usual YH crowd. Turns out that lots of YH in Luxembourg were filled with refugees from the war over the last few days.
Interesting comment from the guy I was talking to was that for a week or two, a remote rural location can feel like a holiday but a significant number of the people don't speak English (or French, or German, or Luxembourgish) so much more than that and they're going to need to change tactics; setting up schooling in Ukrainian, finding positive outlets for adults etc. He said there was also a dynamic between families who arrived with fathers and those without which needed monitoring.
