Today at BMW, we did little workouts that were to improve the ergonomics in the work place. It was a program to prevent injuries and strengthen the body of the workers on the floor. It was a lot of fun laughing at people trying to do the workouts and doing the workouts myself. After that, a gentleman gave a talk about the coalition of the eastern German automobile manufacturing companies belonging to a coalition to try to reach the level of the western Germany. The unemployment rate is up around 20% currently and was up to about 40% after the wall had fallen.
That evening there was a dinner with everyone associated in the program – mentors, host families, lady from Leipzig University’s Study Abroad department, and Stefan showed up. It was a great time getting to know some of the other families and to see all the students’ mentors.
The next two days weren’t very interesting, so we’ll just skip to Thursday evening.
