Throughout the day the rain went in
and out, but after an extremely long day I think Nuremberg is my favorite
city so far. We started off the day getting up really early, but it was
okay since the bus ride gave me a lot of time to nap. We took a long ride to
Lear, which is a seat and electronic company. My first impression about this company with Lear was there
hospitality, we were treated very well by all the workers. First we sat for a
lecture, where an abundance of drinks were provided to us. After that we had
some time to have lunch which consisted of sandwiches and soup. Then we
went on to take the factory tour, which was my favorite part. Something that
was very different from the rest of the companies was that we had to wear a lab
coat, and these covers on our shoes, in order to make sure there is no static
that could ruin their equipment. On our tour the first stop for my group, was
this room that was completely sound proof and in the room there were huge
speakers. We got to listen to some music which was insane because it was the
clearest sounding music I have ever heard. Then they have a Mercedes that they
purchased and put their own speakers in and we got to sit inside and test out
the radio, and it was unreal. The quality was so fine. If I had those speakers
in my car, I would most likely have moved to live in my car by now!
After our visit concluded, we then
took the bus to Nuremberg which is north of Augsburg and about an hour bus ride
from Lear. The bus ride to Nuremberg was a little scary we went through some
tight road in such a big bus, but it was totally worth it. I thought Nuremberg
was picture perfect, from the rivers that ran through it to the perfect wooden
houses. It was a little gloomy out and the city was pretty quite but it was
still beautiful. We took a tour there of the whole city where was passed by the
center which was filled with markets. We were able to try their famous
gingerbread (I don’t usually like gingerbread) but this was completely
revolutionary and I loved it.
After the tour we went to the
restaurant, Burgwächter and tried
a variety of Nuremberg’s sausages, since they are known for their sausages. This restaurant
was right by the Nuremberg castle and the whole atmosphere was really
extraordinary. After dinner, we were
able to see a really good view of the whole city from just above our
restaurant. We then headed back to our bus for a long ride home. I loved
Nuremberg, and hope to go back one day, I wish we had more time to spend there!
Finally, after getting back late,
some the German students took us all out to hang out. What a great day!
