EF Tours WRHS Eastern European Trip 2006 Part 1

In June 2006 I went to Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic with a group of students and teachers from Wheat Ridge High School. The quote at 1:42 is by Mark Twain—

"Where and how did we get the idea that the Germans are a stolid, phlegmatic race? In truth, they are widely removed from that. They are warm-hearted, emotional, impulsive, enthusiastic, their tears come at the mildest touch, and it is not hard to move them to laughter. They are the very children of impulse. We are cold and self-contained, compared to the Germans. They hug and kiss and cry and shout and dance and sing; and where we use one loving, petting expressions they pour out a score. Their language is full of endearing diminutives; nothing that they love escapes the application of a petting diminutive—neither the house, nor the dog, nor the horse, nor the grandmother, nor any other creature, animate or inanimate."
