Today was a total work day in class. Well, almost. Dr. Barb had us do some "observation" of social media as homework today. That meant that we were to go to City Center (Stadtbahnhoff) and watch people, and if we just happenend to find a store that looked fun, we could do a little shopping too.
We found a huge apotheke (drug store) that had the cheap, but good chocolate, so we stocked up! Then we found a wonderful little jewelry store that strictly had all kinds of semi-precious stones. I bought myself and Katie a bernstein pendant (amber). It was fun, trying to communicate with the shop owner who only knew a couple English words.
Then back to class to work with our team all afternoon. We are ready for our presentation tomorrow and I am very pleased with our work. I think it will be more about the process of the presentation than the actual results of Zeppelin University accepting our suggestions of using social media in their marketing strategy.
Our evening ended with a great American/Greek/Mexican restaurant in Germany. We heard from the ZU students that it is great, so we went. It was great, but mostly American, so we had hamburgers and fries (German style). Mine had zucchini and cheese. It was great. They served us a shot of ouzo. That went down smoothly!
Time for bed again. Tomorrow we leave this town and head to Munich for a couple days. EVERYONE says, "You have to go to the Hofbrau Haus." So that is on our list.
What kind of "school" is this? First you learn about Facebook, then you taste wine, and now they have you learn how to shop and watch people? Man, obviously I made a poor decision when I signed up for that physics and calculus class at KU. :-)
ReplyDeleteKeep having fun and keep us updated. I'll do what I can to keep Chris in line while you are gone.
In '77 the Hofbrau Haus had long white radishes cut in a spiral, check if they still have them. Our buxom waitress could carry eight liter mugs of beer on her "chest." Check out the bands and the big courtyard.
