Trip to Germany 2017

Last Friday I returned back home to Finland from the interesting and memorable trip to Germany, that had been organized by HAMK University of Applied Sciences. I would love to express my sincere gratitute to the university and particularly to the staff members, who accompanied us, young travellers, and who arranged the whole journey.

Before the trip even started, I had already had positive expectations about it, since I somehow realized that there are definitely many things to do, to see and to experience in Germany in a free time and, in addition to this, the program of the trip seemed to be extensive and suitable for people of our occupation, Mechanical Engineering students. All my expectations were met fully, and I truly enjoyed the time spent in Germany and all the activities that I was engaged in. What I liked about the trip was a reasonable balance between the time allocated to company tours/events and the time given to the students' free activities. All the trip took place mainly in two towns - Bremen and Hannover, and I, for example, had sufficient number of hours between the major events to wander around and to capture the local sights of both towns. Below, for example, there are two spectacular pieces of architecture, which I found while being in Hannover.











I should also mention, how wonderful it was to escape from finnish prices and to reside for some time in a country, where you can get a nice large kebab for 3.50 euro. The chance to taste the local food and beverages for affordable and reasonable costs was a tremendous advantage of the whole trip and a great experience in general - being in the downtown of Bremen and enjoying some delicious huge burger in a local cafe was a truly athmospheric thing.

Mentioning the free time activities, I must not, however, forget about the main events of the trip. In total, there were three of them - company visits to the Mercedez factory and to the Airbus Defence center and the two-day trip to the Europe's largest technical fair - Hannover Messe.
Among all these events, the most enjoyable for me was the Hannover Messe, mainly due to its inexpressible immensity and the tremendous number of innovations, companies, ideas and concepts presented. Considering my previous experiences of participating in the exhibitions of this kind, I might for sure say that the visit to Hannover Messe was the most interesting, exciting and useful in terms of gaining new information and getting familiar with the sphere of technology. I even managed to find the companies that presented the software I am personally working with, and to aks direct questions.

Concluding my short narration about the trip that I had, I would again love to say that it was a truly authentic and unique experience, and I would definitely be interested in participating in more trips of this kind. Thanks again to all the organizers, people in charge and the staff, who were accompanying us throughout the journey.
