So, today is my last day in germany. We are now back in berlin, at the same hotel where everything began. About one door down from the room we stayed in last time too.

Yesterday we saw the Autostadt, Volkswagen AGs headquarters, wolfsburg production plant, and... theme park I guess you would call it. It was a great day for me. The facility (aside from the factory) is completly new, with the most modern architecture you could imagine.

First we did the factory tour, which was incredible. They put out something like 3000 autos a day, with 98% automation, and yet they still have 45,000 workers. The sheer size of the facility was mind boggoling as well. The two buildings were around 2 and 3 kilometers long. The machinery inside was massive and awesome... and well im rambling, so ill summerise; awesome.

The actual Autostadt (autocity is a close translation) is a park-like landscape with interconecting waterways, ultra-modern pavillions for the car makers in volkswagen AG (volkswagen, audi, seat, skoda, bently and lamborgini), a museum, a car revieving center, and the car towers. Wiki it if you want to learn more, I could simply rant for ever. They also have some "rides", basically playground-esque things, although there were some particulary fun swings (9 meter tall swings) that hoisted you up with a winch and then let you fly out over a reflecting pool. Needless to say, everyone had fun.

I wrote an entry in notepad a few days ago i need to upload, but im on the hotel computer and that is saved on my laptop that has no acess, so it will come at a later date.



Have to get up at 6 tomorow, flight at 9, should be in the US 9 hours later (noon EST)
