Hallo! Little early for the posting but I am tired from the day and might go to bed early or just hangout with some friends. No crazy nights tonight, everyone is too tired haha. So today started out the same as every other, alarm going off and me going "already?!" But today was worth it because class was shorter. So I get up and get ready, head off to the bus, grab a bun/donut and get to class. Nothing really new in class, we went over past perfect and past conversational verbs and thats all we had time for because it was time to head to Wolfsburg for the Volkswagen tour! So we all hop on a bus, now keep in mind ALL of us went, like 34 of us, so we take up a bus purdy good, kinda like this:
and as I post this i realize I got Jordan (in the foreground) at a really good time eh? haha and yes these are two part buses that swivel when they turn haha. The majority of people on the bus are SENSE folks, only like the man in the red and like half the front car are natives haha. Anyways, we take the bus to the Hauptbahnhof (train station) and get on my first ever train ride!
Excitment! ahaha and no Mom im not slouching i didn't want the sleep pad in my face for the picture haha. So we get to Wolfsburg and head over to the VW factory. Now the factory is behind the Haupbahnhof in Wolfsburg so we have to go into a tunnel under the tracks to get to where we need to go haha. This is what we go down into.
Purdy neat, ya? haha so you head over the the factory and you can't take anything that has a camera past the sercuity post right outside the tunnel so the last shot for the tour was this, the front of the VW factory.
If i remember right thats the new VW Gulf or Golf sitting in front there. Anyways, the tour itself was alright, I'm not a big car guy but I can appreciate a good machine and 50-60ton press if need be haha. Honestly the only thing I wanted to take a picture of was how we got around on the tour. We didn't walk at all we were pulled on a trolly ish thing by a VW car with the top sawed off through the plant! haha it was epic! Anyways afterwords we headed over the Autostadt (car city). It is so nice! There are a lot more pictures on facebook but here are a few of my favorites.
Pretty cool ya? Check out facebook for some more! They are under "SENSE 2001 Braunschweig, Germany". Thats about it for today, a whole lot of walking and seeing and I finally got my camera! haha I think this weekend or the next we will head up to Berlin for the day but we shall see, it was just suggested about an hour ago so yeah. Hope to hear from you! Bis Dann!
Random Things:
1. Holly, one of our interns, is scared of birds but not ducks
2. Getting spun on the keyhole thing (like the girl is above) is really disorienting.
3. Trains are trains, not very exciting.
4. Remember to put jelly into the fridge.
Picture of the Day!
