Today was definitely my favorite day of this trip so far! Our tour guide was amazing with showing us around the city of Delft and Kinderdijk. The windmills are a must see and the strawberries and local cheese was a must try!

We had an amazing tour from a Purdue alumni and she showed us a lot of important sites in Amsterdam. My favorite part was seeing Anne Frank’s house and seeing all the beautiful canals and boats.

The tour of Dachau concentration camp was very heavy and it’s an experience I think everyone should have.

The Audi manufacturing tour and museum was also really awesome to see [...]

I loved getting to see the Olympic Park and walk around the BMW showroom. We got to sit on the bikes and in the cars which was amazing! The exercise we did with the German students was really eye-opening to see the differences of our culture and how that may affect us in making business [...]

The stadium tour that we went on was really cool and I loved to see the media room and be basically on the field even though I don’t follow soccer. I loved the palace tour with all of the artwork and architecture inspired by different cultures and eras especially since I have been to Italy [...]

We went to Porsche and it was incredible the similarities and differences we saw between them and Mercedes-Benz from the day before. I also loved the walking tour because we got to look at the meaning of Oktoberfest and common German traditions and culture like beer gardens.

I really loved the Mercedes-Benz factory tour! It was awesome to see how fast their lines go and to see how they utilized robot and human power. It was also really nice to see Stuttgart on the on and off bus tour!
