The summer of 1999, a group of students embarked on a three week trip to Düsseldorf, Germany, in a foreign exchange program. Their lives would never be the same again.
Here are some memorable quotes from the trip; special thanks go to KTB for compiling this list. [Editor's Note: Any descriptions of people following their quote are from KTB, and no one else. Also, some quotes have been removed by discretion of the editor.]
- "I don't like this slow schlong."
-- Gregg, drunk dancin' queen - "Look, giant gerbil things!"
-- Chris, pointing at sheep - "Raymond _____ is now an International Annoyance." [Editor's Note: Last name removed to protect the privacy of the international annoyance.]
-- Seth, amid the airport bustle - "Bring it on, God!!!"

-- Chris, challenging Lufthansa - "I haven't found many good bars, but I bet you guys have."
-- Frau Ackermann, woman of insight [Editor's Note: Frau Ackermann is the wife of the German teacher, thus a chaperone.] - "I'm off to search every tram labled U79 for it."

-- Lisa, finding parallels in movies and real life - "Just watch the movie, Al."
-- Sven, devoid of patience - "I've been thinking. I have no idea where my camera is."
-- Al, in a moment of reflection - "The world cries."
-- KTB's deeply emotional response to Al - "I don't want to hit you, Raymond.... well, actually, I do."
