This was by far my favorite day of the entire trip! We used our free day to go to Salzburg, Austria. When it came to planning the trip I was very indifferent about we did and I was genuinely up to do anything as I was not particularly drawn to Austria for anything specific. Erin…

Today is presentation day, we started the morning off by doing extra preparation and adding final touches to the presentation. Once we arrived to the University of Augsburg campus, we went to a study room to practice our presentation as a group. After practicing, everyone dispersed to get food and wait until presentations started. While…

This week has really flown by as it is the final day before presentations and start of the program winding down. Audi was our final site visit and I was super eager to learn more about the production process after spending over a week researching the company for our presentation. We already had a guest…

We had an early start this morning to depart for Regensburg to visit Aumovio and explore the Old Town Hall. As soon as we arrived, I noticed how different this city felt compared to other places we had visited. The colorful buildings and riverside made the city feel very historic with a special touch. Walking…

We had an early start this morning to depart Nürnberg to visit MAN and tour the Kunstbunker. Once we arrived in the city, I was in awe of the beautiful architecture and the old charm of the area. Walking around, I felt like the hilly structure and buildings reminded me of Edinburgh a little bit….

Today we visited the Dachau Memorial Site. As we approached the camp grounds, I felt the silence and emptiness of those who walked here before us. As we went through the tour, our tour guide gave us an overview of Holocaust victim testimonies and general history during the time. I took note of the way,…

We had an abnormally relaxed day as our only event didn’t start until 1:30. So we used our free time to go to the Schaezlerpalais. Interestingly enough there were two different weddings surrounding the museum outside. The energy outside as we walked into the museum was so jolly as everyone was celebrating together. The palace…

First of all, I’m obsessed with horses and I also have a strong feeling that when I die I will reincarnate as a horse, so I was super excited to be around some horses today at the Neuschwanstein Castle! It’s also the Chinese Lunar Year of the Red Fire House, so I try to embody…

Today was such a short day and a good opportunity for a much-needed reset and catch up on sleep! We started the day by taking the streetcar to Kuka, a robotics manufacturer. When it comes to robots the only thing I know is the surgery on a grape video that went viral back a few…

This morning we left Pittsburgh for Germany! Waking up in towers for the first time since freshmen year felt a little strange, but I was thankful to be close to Nordenberg where we were getting on the bus as my luggage was quite heavy. I woke up at 5am with so much excitement but also…

Today we took the bus to Munich to tour the BMW factory and visit the museum. We first started off with a tour of the factory. It was so interesting to get an inside scoop on the intricate production process of BMWs. I also took note of how automated the production is as there were…

Today we started the day off taking the streetcar to the University of Augsburg campus for a guest talk from Audi. Before the guest presentation, we all worked with our groups to complete a company overview presentation for each of our assigned companies. For our group, we are analyzing Audi, so it was especially helpful…

Today we arrived in Augsburg following a 10+ hour travel day! I was so glad to be off the plane and settled in. After taking a bus from Munich to Augsburg, we were warmly greeted at the hotel by our program coordinator, Elisabeth. After eating a small lunch and regrouping, we ventured out as a…
