Austria / USA
I've been abroad with my school a couple of times, not really had many mishaps or super-exciting things happen, but still...

Austria:
- Mates decide to rub that gel that colours your hair, in my hair. Unluckily for them, the colour didn't show up in my thick, long(ish) hair. Still had to wash the gel out and show up at dinner with wet, dripping hair though.

- Endless snowball fights on the ski resort, as you do. Teachers eventually joining in, with the PE teacher critisizing everyone on their crap throws.

- Mate decides to have a nosebleed on the coach. Very, very long coach ride (UK to Austria via coach + channel tunnel...). Fun.

- Spending the trip in a haunted hotel room. It appeared haunted anyway, what with stuff moving about with no logical explanation and such.

- Mate decides he's a pro skier, jumps up a snow ramp. Very impressive height, unimpressive landing...on his arse...not comfortable while wearing skiis). Two more people from our group think they can do better, resulting in a pile of bodies.

- Some stupid, whiny girl, who kept crying whenever she fell over. Cruised down the wrong hill (out of bounds due to lack of snow). Fell over and sat there crying for half an hour, instead of walking back up sideways, as she had recently been taught.

USA:
- Arrived at the hotel about 3 hours before we had to get up for breakfast and depart for the ski shop.

- Mate pisses in the girls' bathtub. Teachers forced him to wash it out, so he washed it out with one of the girl's sponges. The girl had to wait outside while he did this, and got asked by a girl from another school if she'd been caught having sex with him.

- Some random black bloke, playing with his cock when we walked past...

- Scared the shit out of roommates after telling them I was a Satanist. Of course, they assumed the heavy, devil-worship type, but I actually follow LaVey's Satanism (not devil worship).

- Our room was next door to the girls' room, and there was an unlocked door between the two rooms. Every time I got out of bed for a piss, I came back and there was a fucking girl lying there. This made it impossible to change without the fear of a female watching...

- Hotel telepohnes! Wonderful things! Phoning classmates' rooms and asking for room service is actually pretty fun. Accidentally phoning the teacher's room is not.

- We ended up going to Ben & Jerry's at about 11:40pm. The only people who bought anything were teachers...

- I got left behind in the Empire State Building. When we came to the metal detectors, I had to remove all my metal accessories, taking about 10 minutes, while everyone just wanders off to the top. I had no fucking idea where to go, and got on the right lift purely by luck. When we got to the top, we couldn't see anything though, as it was so foggy. It was like being inside a huge white room. And some kid threw a bouncy ball off the top.

I think that's it...

And by the way, if you're ever in America, have a slice of pizza. Best pizza ever.
