We spent our last day in Austria!!! We went to Salzburg, which is where The Sound of Music was filmed. We stopped at this German restaurant for a quick bite before we took the incline to the top of the castle which overlooked the city. It was absolutely stunning. We took our photos and walked…

Today was officially our last day in Augsburg and our last chance to do anything in Augsburg. We woke up early and took a two hour bus ride to Regensburg, where we got a tour of the city. The city was absolutely beautiful. The tour was a little bit long, but nonetheless very interesting. I…

The long awaited presentation day has finally arrived. We grabbed a quick breakfast and headed over to the university to give our presentations. Audi was the first group to go and we had to talk for 30 minutes with a 15 minute discussion. Unfortunately , we had a little bit too much information and we…

Day 9 was finally the Audi presentation day. Audi is the company I’m doing a presentation on and we got to learn about the production development.

We started our day on the train. I’ve noticed that boarding and riding the trains are much simpler and relaxing than in America. It is similar to riding the bus or a tram. But we joined some German students and went to Landsberg am Lech. The original plan was to go to Ulm but due…

We started our day at the Neuschwanstein castle. We walked around the small town and got to see Alpsee bei Schwangau. It is a stunning lake near the castle. It was so peaceful and everything about this trip looks like it would be out of a picture book or a laptop background. After that we…

We started our day early at Grob. Walking in, the environment was open and a much different experience than the previous company visit. The offered us some snacks and drinks. I tried this drink that mixed apple juice and sparkling water, it tasted exactly how you would expect it to taste. We had a quick…
