Before I start my Praktikum, I had a little bit of time before my week of chaos (more on this later)...
With the friendly invitation of some family, I rendezvoud with my Girlfriend in London. We saw many tourist sites and visited some local places not far as well. We got a tour from my step-brother through London. Then we got to go to the small town of Southampton and check out some old ruins. We took a tour of Stone Henge and Bath, then ate at local eatery's and had drinks in some pubs.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but it was a very nice break. This week I must:
Unpack
Do laundry
Repack all my belongings
Clean my room
Fill out the contract for BMW which arrives Wednesday, and mail it back
Write a two page report
Get my apartment inspected on Thursday
Catch a train to München (arrive around 7pm Thursday)
Check into and stay at a Hostel for one week.
Start work immediately the next day (Friday) at 8:30am
I finally was able to locate housing with the help of BMW's Accomodation office, but it will not be available until 7. April. I am excited to start working and being more productive. I also can't wait to start learning German more rapidly. I am quite sad that my stay here in Germany is already more than half way over, but something tells me..... I'll be back.

I am in a 5 year degree program earning a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.A. in German. I completed a semester at the Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig and have an Praktikum in BMW Research and Innovation Center(FIZ) working under Functional Integration of Driving Dynamics. This will just be my little "blog" of my progress, trips, blunders while i'm in Europe for the first time. My Year Abroad; Germany and a number of other countries.
About Me
- Payam
- München, Bayern, Germany
- I love all things motorsports and racing. I have an unhealthy addiction to modifying anything mechanical. Brakes and Suspension are my forte and I love driving fast in slow cars. I am in love with math, physics and knowing how things work. But if there's anything I've learned since being here, it's that experiencing a multitude of other cultures, traveling, and seeing tangible history will enrich ones life in ways no book can offer.
