Jens,
Wie ghets? You have basically summed up Spring Break as saying it is a huge party. In my days it was more like a huge drunken party/orgy in the streets of Ft. Lauderdale-Daytona-Pensacola-Key West. There are still Spring Breaks in these areas but NOTHING like it was in the 70s and 80s. The worst/best is now in Cancun, Mexico, and of course the daddy of all Spring Breaks; Mardi Gras in New Orleans, LA. For the record Spring Break refers to the week off the most Universities in the US give their students in the middle of the Spring semester of study. I would say the party, at least at US locations, has been calmed down considerably in the last 15 years. On the other hand my students tell me that Spring Break, like I recall it in the 80s, is alive and well in Mexico.
