Students Tour
Germany, Austria
by Kristin Majors
January 7,1993 marked the begin
ning of a three week trip through
Germany and Austria for seven Sa
lem students and the German profes
sor, Adam Steiner.
The seven troopers were Heather
Carlin, Mika Fujimoto, Ann Greene,
Cary Hodges, Kristan Majors,
MeridethWaltzek, andLamie Yuson.
The trip began in Munich,Germany
where the students spent eight days.
They then moved on to a three day
visit to Salzburg, Austria, and ended
with eight days in Vienna, Austria.
Shoppring, German beer, art muse
ums, operas, ballets, discotheques, and
castles were highlights of the trip.
Besides the aching feet, the food dif
ferences, the language barrier, and
the never-ending bags of luggage, the
trip proved to be not only an educa
tional experience, but also a memo
rable one.
Everyone is encouraged to slop one
of the world travelers and see just
what they have to say about the excur-

of the trip included climbing Ayers
Rock, spending time in the Outback
with the Aborigines, snorkling on the
Great Barrier Reef, and a night of
