Elevator speech

This summer was one of the best summers of my life! I have always loved the idea of being able to travel and this trip helped me fulfill that dream. We traveled to many different cities around Germany, and I was also able to travel to Paris for a short weekend! Looking back at the trip, I can’t believe all of the amazing things I was able to see and experience. Although the idea of figuring out a transportation system around a different country seemed daunting at first, it was much easier than I could have ever guessed. We saw many different churches, castles, and museums which helped me learn about the history of Germany and admire its beauty through everything it has been through. One of my favorite things about Germany and something I will definitely miss is its food. After two weeks of being back home, I am sure I will be craving currywurst or döners! Being able to experience a new culture gave me the desire to travel even more, and I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and experience. Tschüss!

Elevator Speech

My time in Germany was incredible to say the least! I had so much fun, learned a ton about engineering, and met a lot of amazing people! I got to travel to different parts around Germany and even spent a day in Paris. I really enjoyed learning from both professors and especially loved each joke that was told by Professor De Rooy and each story by Professor Nielsen. I made a lot of new memories that I am very grateful for and really enjoyed this trip!

We got the opportunity to travel around Europe and see so many different amazing things that play a huge part of the world’s history. We got to experience so many different things first hand and learn what life was like back them. It was an amazing experience that I will forever be grateful for and never forget!

Elevator speech

A lot of people might wonder or ask me how was Germany. My short answer to this is for sure it was fantastic! However, they might want to hear more detail about my trip like what is culture like at Germany, what is your favorite food, what did you learn, etc…

First thing that I want to share is culture part. Germany has really good public transportation culture so you can easily get to any places in Germany by public transportation. Also Germany seems to very open to immigration and accepts a lot of people from other countries.

Food is another important thing that people might ask frequently. My favorite German food is definitely “Doner Kebab.” It is traditional German food with bread and either chicken or beef inside with lettuces and your choice of sauces. It is very delicious so I would recommend it if anyone visit Germany to try that food.

Lastly, I learn a lot both academically and culturally. I learn Engineering 202 which is my first 200 level of engineering. I learned part of history  of Germany and how they still acknowledge the history and apologize to Jews what they did in past. They make museums of their shameful history to remember and perhaps not do this again. I respect that and I do agree with them. “Countries without knowing its history has no future.”

Elevator Pitch

Germany is a place of wonderful food, great people and amazing sights. Berlin especially was extremely diverse with several immigrants who have been welcomed to the city. This engineering trip proved to be an amazing experience where you will create close relationships and eat delicious food. The trip also proved that survival is definitely for the fittest since you will learn how to properly budget so you don’t run out of money for food. Despite the fact that we were in Germany for class, there was never a day that we didn’t do something exciting or saw something interesting.

As a part of the trip we were given the chance to explore Europe with our train passes . This was a tremendous experience. In my last week, I travelled from Berlin, Germany to Paris, France and then to Prague, Czech Republic. I have had some really great experiences.

My Elevator Speech

Germany was a really interesting experience. Honestly, it would be an interesting experience for a lot of people due to tot the fact that you are in a place with a different culture and beliefs compared to where we come from. I love the fact that the places in Germany are made of cement and brick instead of wood and metal, unlike the US. I love their food especially the donner kebabs, being tasty, healthy and cheap. Some interesting things which I questioned in the trip were why beer was cheaper than water, why you have to pay to use a public bathroom, why you have to pay for ketchup and why to pay for a bag in the grocery store. Apart from that, I could honestly say that I loved Germany so much that I could see myself living there. 

During the trip, we lived in a hotel which looked like a castle and went to many places. The favorite places we went to was in Heidelberg and Koln. The main reason because we lived in a 4.3-star hotel and a hotel 4.5-star hotel. We saw a lot of churches of course but what piqued my interest was how they each church we went to be unique in how it looks the history they had. We also went to the concentration camps, and honestly, that was a place I thought I would never go to. I have about them. Going over there made me feel different from reading about it. Being over there made me be sad, angry and disappointed in humankind for obvious reasons. 

The Engr 202 class and the German class we took during the trip were great. I was really surprised that we managed to finish the Engr 202 class and understood the course within 5 weeks. Although there were times we had to stay up at night to understand and finish the homework. It was also nice to know people and make a lot of friends during the trip. 

So in conclusion, Germany was worth it.
