Waterloo Exchange 2004/2005
Arrival
| |
Arrival of the engineering
students in Toronto on August 27th. |
|
Engineering holidays
take-off
| |
Just after arriving in Waterloo,
we had our own car…at least for one week. |
|
Montreal
| |
The journey took us to Montreal,
a mandatory visit for every exchange student here (fltr: Sven,
Wolfgang, Stefan and Jörn Marten photographed by Sascha)
|
|
| |
The Basilique Notre-Dame:
One of many churches in Montreal but it is said to be one
of the most beautyful ones in North America. |
|
Ottawa
| |
During the trip before our classes started, we
also visited Ottawa. Here we are standing in front of the Houses
of Parliament. |
|
| |
 |
|
Of course we visited the
capital of our guest country, Ottawa. It has very historic
and political style. It is nice to stay at the Rideau Channel
(above) for hours |
|
| |
Ottawa's skyline is domi-nated
by the parliament buildings. Our hint for all the next generations:
visit whatever you want but don’t skip Ottawa: |
|

 |
This is the famous Sven. He is mainly known for
his huge beer consumption. |
Algonquin national park
In Algonquin national park we rented canoes, enjoyed the wonderful
weather during the first day, admired the clear sky in the night
and woke up in heavy rain. That’s Canada as well.

 |
|
Rowing on the Canoe Lake. |
|
| |
Having Dinner at one of the
small camping areas, which are distributed all over the park. |
|
 |
|
Reini
| |
Reini and his birthday present.
On September 10th, we went to his home to surprise him with
our little present from Germany: an orginal Kuckucks clock. |

 |
| Before Christmas, Reini
invited all exchange students from Braunschweig and Hamburg
to a great dinner. It was a really enjoyable evening. |
 |
 |
| Reini’s retirement:
After 36 years in Waterloo it is obviously hard to go, but
he promised he will still superwise our exchange as long as
he stays healty. (Thanks Reini in the name of all the former,
current and future Braunschweig students.) |
University
| |
Stefan and Sven in the “cell biology”
lecture… |
|
…but sometimes Stefan
could study with more passion. |
|
| |
Exams in the physical activity
center...without comment. |
|
Braunschweig Presentation
| |
In our Germany presentation
we tried to persuade Canadians to study in our country.
We generated a lot of interest and hopefully some future
plans. |

Columbia Lake Village
...and in Indian Summer.
German Banquet
|
 |
One official highlight of the Braunschweig-Waterloo exchange
program is the traditional German banquet in the Transylvania
Club. It is amazing how many German students are studying
in Waterloo.
|
| |
Also, we had another opportunity
to make a picture of Reini and our group. |
|
Bio-Info Presentation
| |
For our Course in Bioinformatics
one of the group projects was to create a scientific poster,
explaining a common technique. During the presentation everybody
was invited to ask questions. |
