Germany is great and Germans are crazy, German boys are better-looking than English ones (feel free to disagree) and Milka chocolate is the thing to buy when in Germany. These are just some of the findings 15 students from 15 UK schools found when they visited Hamburg as part of an initiative organised by the German National Tourist Office (GNTO) and UK-German Connection. The itinerary for the 15-year-old winners of a competition included Hamburg’s sights such as the famous “Speicherstadt” (warehouse city), Fish Market, and the new urban development “HarbourCity”. The group also visited a German school (Gymnasium Ohmoor), the HSH Nordbank Arena, home ground of the Hamburger SV football team, and took part in the “Schlager Move” festival where “crazy Germans” enjoyed and sang along to cheesy music. In the recently opened International Maritime Museum the British students and their group leaders from UK-German Connection and the GNTO were the first English-speaking visitor group.
