Volkswagen!

Today we went to the Volkswagen factory. It took about an hour and a half by train to get there, but it was worth it! I was thankful that the tour wasn't a walking tour, because I was a little tired. We rode through the factory and were able to see basically each step of assembling a VW car. A lot of it was done by robots, but there were also workers doing things too. We unfortunately were not allowed to take pictures while inside the factory. ) : However, I took some before. While we were at the factory, I saw some pretty cool Volkswagens! I want a Touareg VW! lol After going on the tour, we had a few hours to get some food and just walk around. They had a Nike outlet store right near the factory but however, my roommate and I were very disappointed in the selection they had to offer. We found another shoe store though and I was debating which shoes I wanted. The shoes I did like were a little too small, so I didn't get them. On our way back from the VW plant, I decided I wanted to go see if the same shoe store near our apartment had the shoes I wanted. They didn't either so I wound up going to 2 other places and still not having any luck getting the shoes I originally wanted in my size, but I did get some other ones that I really liked! Another good thing about going to 3 different malls to find these shoes is the fact that they weren't expensive! ( :

What I call a "car vending machine". This is where they hold the cars until the customer comes to buy it. It holds up to 400 cars!
