Today began with breakfast on the 17th floor of the hotel before our 8:30 departure to our first company visit of the day at HY. Our visit began with a tour of the probiotic yogurt drink production building where we saw how these drinks were made and the people required to keep the machines working properly. It was interesting to see all of the thousands of drinks being made in a matter of minutes. We also learned how probiotics work in the human body and even got free samples of the yogurt drinks.
After the conclusion of the HY company visit we headed to lunch where we shared tofu and seafood soup. We got to choose what to put into our soup and the crab was so good I had to have more than one claw. I also got to try tofu for the first time and it was surprisingly good, especially in the soup.
Our next company visit was one I was looking forward to at TK Elevators. At the company we split into groups, my group started by going to the test tower. This tower was 40 stories high and we got to take one of the TK Elevators to the top to see the amazing view. After the test tower we went inside the building where we saw all the different parts to making and testing these elevators. We got to go into a safety training room where I experienced free fall by dropping into a foam pit. At this visit I learned the different types of elevators such as twin elevators which work by having two elevators in one shaft. This was definitely my favorite company visit because of how much I learned and the fun twist to it. Today was an eventful day where I learned about the manufacturing process of two different companies.
