The Allianz Arena Last day of our field trip! And its another beautiful day. This week had been so long, with almost every single waking moment occupied by activities, but now it’s almost time to get back to the “normal” rhythm of summer school. First stop of the day was the Allianz Arena, which is a huge football stadium north of Munich. We got a guided tour where we learned about the fire safety measures and the structures. After the…
Beer stein deposit Saturday morning we got a tour guide around Munich where we saw a lot of the historic places. We also saw a Hofbräuhaus, which is a place where people goes to get some beer. All the regular guests got their own table and had the possibility of making a costum sign where they could write anything they wanted. Some of the regulars had a private beer stein locked in the Bräuhaus, but there were no more…
Another day seeing a lot of stuff. We started at a brickyard that made hollowed out bricks with insulation in the gaps to improve the U-value of the finished wall as well as improve the acoustic traits of the wall. We got a tour around the factory where we saw the ovens and all the machines they used to make the bricks, we also got a demonstration of how the bricks were assembled and Molly even got to try…
Mid-jump (totally looks like I instagrammed this photo, but it really is the original – crazyness) We started our day by checking out from our hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. From there our bus headed for the local ski-jump stadium where people from all over the world can buy time for practicing their jumping. Here is one of the places where the “january 1st” ski-jumping takes place (I believe it is 3 maybe 4 places they film from). It was amazing watching…
On our way up to the Alpspitze cable car Wednesday was a big mountain climbing day. We started our day with going to the local grocery store and buy some food for lunch, as our lunch stop would be at the top of a mountain so it would be quite expensive to buy food there. Most of us bought some krakers and stuff to eat – we also brought lots of water as we would be hicking in the heat…
A propella Tuesday was a busy day with lots of walking. We started by driving to the Zeppelin museum, where we learned a lot about how they are build, and some facts about the Hindenburg and why it went so wrong. There was a lot of old original items, both from the Hindenburg and other zeppelins, like a propella which was crazy big, but I guess it had to be big to drive an entire zeppelin. Our guide was a…
Nuklear power plant on the way to Ravensburg Monday morning we started our week-long roadtrip to southern Germany. We had a rented bus for the entire week, so we had the same driver all week. The bus was a 50-persons bus, but we were only around 20 people, so we each got our own double seat. Our first stop was Ravensburg, where we got a guided tour around the Ravensburg art musuem, which is the very first zero energy museum…
Brick with insulation being tested This week we had german class in the morning, and then after lunch we had our seminar class, so this was a very eventfull week. Monday we went to the schools lab to try and pressure test some bricks. Their facilities was amazing compared to the ones I’m used to at DTU. Everything was modern and looked pretty new, at DTU everything is basically from the 1970’s. We tested a brick with holes in it,…
The 5 beers that was tasted. I like the dark one in the middle and the one on the far right (a wheat beer) Mornday morning we started our day with a presentation from the President of the Hochschule Darmstadt and the woman in charge of international affairs. They told us about how the school works, and the city of Darmstadt and such. We also got our wireless login for the schools router. In the afternoon we got our…
This week we baby sat my parents dogs and I tried to get everything in order before going to Germany on Sunday. I also started vlogging so I have some videoclips that I need to edit and upload, but not so many pictures from this week. But the picture I have of Frida is so cute, so ofcourse I get that in here 🙂 I also got a haul in week 28, partly from Beautybay and partly from Matas. The…
