I am in Germany doing an internship with Knorr-Bremse.
Here is a picture documentation of a typical day.
6:59
-- My alarm goes off, I snooze a little and then I finally roll out of bed
and urinate, brush my teeth, and the sort.
7:17 -- For
breakfast I eat some Muesli with yogurt.
7:50
-- I trudge through the snow and wander out of the Olympiadorf apartment
complex.
7:51
-- Across the street there is the gate to Knorr Bremse.
7:52
-- I show the guard my ID.
7:54
-- This is the building I work in.
7:55
-- And that is my window on the top floor.
7:56
-- Everyday I punch in and punch out using this machine and my ID. I am
currently 21.6 hours ahead.
7:58
-- These are the stairs I have to take to my office.
8:01
-- here is my desk and the rest of the office. There are about 20 other
people in this room.
8:05
-- Here is my window.
9:23
-- This object sits on my desk. It is an analogwandlerteil.
9:59
-- So my job today is to translate this document
9:59
-- Using this dictionary and the German I learned in highschool and from
my parents.
11:35
-- Typical Bavarian lunch is served in the basement of this building.
3:33
-- This is where they store all the pieces to make brake parts.
4:27
-- This is the view from my window. That is Olympiadorf and the olympia
tower.
6:30
-- I leave Knorr-Bremse
6:32
-- On the way home I watch the subway construction for a while.
6:36
-- And I walk down the hall to my room
6:37
-- I load up my backpack with empty glass bottles
6:38
-- And I walk
6:39
-- To the grocery store
6:39
-- The small prices live here.
6:40
-- I return my empty bottles into this machine and get a couple euros
back.
6:45
-- I don't use a shopping cart, instead I just load up my backpack and
they don't think I am stealing. Most people bring their own bags to the
store and load them up.
7:00
-- This is the bakery but it is closed already.
7:02
-- This is where I enter my apartment building
7:03
-- I'll check my mail. Mine is 507 B, the one with the yellow tag.
7:03
-- What's this? A letter from France! A letter from Heather!
11:27
-- After some e-mail writing, book reading, and TV watching I go to bed.
