First company visits


We got up and headed straight to the company visits super early in the morning. We first headed to moser crystal. It was a 2 hour bus ride where almost every person passed out on the way there. The company visit was alright. It was really awesome to see the glass being blown. The visit overall was a bit disappointing. I was expecting actually being able to talk to the guide and find out about the company and business aspects where as we just kind if saw the production and didn't really learn much about the company. 
We then headed Karlovy Vary a city in the area to grab lunch. We really only had time grab lunch, but I wish I could of seen more if the city. The lesser touristic areas are more fun to see in my opinion. I feel like I'm able to see more of the real world then. 
We then headed to Witte automotive parts company. This was an amazing  tour. It's defiantly a company I'd like to look into interning or even working for. It's a super fast paced company that was really Interesting. I'm not a super fan of one type of car, but I loved that they mass produce parts of all different cars. They produce 99% percent if the parts for Volvo, the new LED hatchback for Ford and many others. They keep enough parts for three days production. My faith was restored in the company visits once we were done with that visit. It was exactly what I was expecting from the visits. 
As soon as we got back we had about 30 minutes until we left for our dinner with our class. The meal was really Interesting. I had the vegetarian option because the other was pork. It was pasta and salmon (yes the vegetarian option had meat in it lol). The pork option was literally a huge pork knuckle. This thing was the size of a person's head. It's normally a meal for about two or three people but there was some people who finished the whole thing. For desert we had applestrueddle. 
That night we all wanted to call it a night early because we had to leave by 615 the next morning, but we walked the streets one last time to enjoy Prague as one it the most beautiful cities in the world.
