May/Summer 2007
Day 10
Vienna: As our students return from Gmunden, Prague, Budapest, some of us awoke bright and early to see the acclaimed Vienna Boys Choir. Once all had returned safely home, afternoon class sessions began. For most students, the rest of the day was spent working on papers and journals. Others met with students from the University of Vienna to collaborate on their group projects for this coming Wednesday. ~Maddy
London: Today was gorgeous. The sun was shining and there was no rain in sight. Our outing for the day took us to Speaker’s Corner where a variety of people come to speak out about topics with which they concerned. They bring their own “soap boxes” and stand in this corner of the park and present their arguments or teachings. The speakers we encountered included preachers, socialists, atheists, and musicians, all proclaiming their opinions. Crowds formed around them and, depending on their arguments, members of the crowd would voice counterpoints or ask questions. It was all very civilized and even the most controversial speaker was allowed voice his ideas without causing too much of a stir. After getting some refreshments and spending a little time in the park, we returned to the hotel to relax. Later on in the evening, we went on another London walk. This time is was the “Real World of Harry Potter”. Allen was our tour guide and he explained where J.K Rowling got her ideas and where the unusual Harry Potter names come from. For instance, did you know that Albus Dumbledore means “white bumblebee” or that her idea for Diagon Alley came from a real street in London? We met Erica, a Harry Potter fan from New York, on the walk. After purchasing magic wands, Erica began a Harry Potter style duel with Bradley student, Danielle. ~Emily
Dublin: Thinking back on the arrival: I expected a leprechan dressed in a fitted green suit to greet me while I was walking off the plane at Dublin Airport. I quickly found out that my American preconcieved ideas about Ireland were mostly untrue. Ireland is not the land where leprechans guard their pot of gold. Americans are not the only population to hold false stereotypes about a foreigh country: the Irish can be guilty as well. False stereotyping can lead both the Irish and Americans to experience culture shock when visiting each other's country. ~Kristen
