5/12

Today we had to get up and leave for the company LEER at around 6:50. Needless to say I was very tired as I haven't woken up that early all year. The ride to LEER was over three hours long but thankfully I was able to get some sleep on the bus. LEER is a pretty interesting company. They make electronic components and seats and seat belts for companies like BMW, Ford, and Daimler. The companies presentation was really nice and they fed us as well as gave a lot of in depth information about their company and their company outlook for the future. After the LEER visit we drove to Nuremberg. Touring the city of Nuremberg was definitely my favorite part of the day. The city is beautiful and has a lot of history even though roughly ninety percent of it was destroyed during the war. At dinner, we had all different types of Nuremberg sausage which was delicious. Then later that night, the Germany students took us out to club YUM. The club was a lot of fun and the time flew by as the next thing I knew it was 4 am. Before heading back to the hotel I asked my one German friend Yan if we could get Doner (sort of like a Gyro). When we got to the Doner place it was packed with people. I guess Doner is to Augsburg students what Sorrentos is to Pitt students. It was at this moment that I realized I will never have Doner again because it tasted terrible.
