Today was our last day in Germany. It is so sad to think that we have to leave tomorrow. Today we were given a free day to do whatever we wanted to do. Our plan got a little messed up. We originally planned to go to Salzburg, Austria. We got on the train to Munich…

Day 11: Final Presentations
Today was our last day to spend as a group. I woke up and headed to the university to meet with my group to finalize our presentation. When it was time for presentations, we went to the room. We were the fourth group to go, so we had to wait a while to present. Listening…
Day 10: GROB
Today we had a very warm welcome at GROB. We started off the day with a short presentation where they offered us some snacks and drinks. After the presentation, we got a tour of the factory. The factory is very clean. What surprised me was how big it was. I knew this was a smaller…
Day 9: Hoerbiger and Oberammergau
Today, we had an early start on visiting Hoerbiger. This company visit started off with a presentation. What stuck out to me the most from not only this presentation, but also the whole company visit, was that they are making valves to help babies who were born preterm. I think that this is a great…
Day 8: Dachau
Today we visited the Dachau concentration camp. Dachau was the first concentration camp and set the standard or layout of all the other camps. Walking into the camp made me feel many emotions and felt so heavy. Our tour guide was so great and really helped us understand what had happened there, and even at…
Day 7: Munich
Today we got to go to the largest city in Bavaria: Munich! We took the train into the city, which was a slightly unenjoyable experience because we were all packed into the train like sardines, and there were no seats open. However, the train ride was so worth it. The first thing we did when…
Day 6: Neuschwanstein
We departed the hotel very early this morning, but it was okay because this was the day that I had been looking forward to the most. We got to see the Neuschwanstein castle! First, we got to the town, which was so cute. We stopped by a lake and admired the surrounding views. The mountains…
Day 5: Audi
Today was the company that I was looking forward to the most. We got to visit Audi. We took the bus there in the morning and started our day off at the museum. The museum was so interesting to me because we got to see old cars that Audi used to produce and how they…
Day 4: Continental and Regensburg
We started our day at Continental which is the company that I am doing my presentation on. First, we listened to a speaker and then ate at their cafeteria. Then, we got to go on a factory tour. What I found surprising was how much technology was involved. Robots are a very essential part of…
Day 3: MAN and Nuremberg
Today we got to visit Nuremberg, which is the second largest city in Bavaria. Our tour guide shared really interesting stories and background about the city’s history and the buildings around us. I really enjoyed this city and all the history surrounding it. The city had a mix of traditional and modern architecture. Since many…
Day 2:
We started day 2 pretty early in the morning and headed to the University of Augsburg. While here, we listened to a guest speaker which was really interesting. After this, we worked with our groups on a short presentation about our company, which is Continental. I enjoyed doing this because I got to meet the…
Day 1: Arrival Day
After a very long travel day, we finally arrived in Augsburg! When we arrived, our hotel room wasn’t ready yet so we took a small tour of Augsburg and ate some snacks. Then we had a small break so we decided to go to a park and take a nap to hopefully relieve the jet…
