It is internship halftime for me :) or even a bit more.
So time for me to write again. The last weeks have been
super exciting. We had many trips, best weather, sun, heat and fun!
My girlfriend Eva came to the US to visit me. We both have waited
for that day so long.
She flew in to Chicago, so I drove there to pick her up from
the airport. She had a little delay and the security and immigration control in
Chicago was a kind of a chaos. But finally and after 3 hours waiting she came
out of the security zone.
I was really nervous to see her again after that long time :D
We had a tight program: sightseeing, enjoying to be together and I had to show her how my life here in the U.S. is.

So we saw Chicago, travelled to the D (of course!), she met
my roomies and friends here.
After that we went to Toronto and the Niagara Falls and
again back to Chicago.
And – instead of writing and telling you guys every detail I
decided to show you just a few pictures of our trip :)
At work I finished our second newsletter AutoCommuniqué
two weeks ago. I’m the editor. Together with Larry I created the new edition.
We gave it to a printing-shop and then I sent them out to clients and partners
all over the world. There are some hardcopys left, so if you want to have one, just let me know.
Otherwise you can also download the newsletter on our
homepage: www.usautocom.com/#!newsletter-archive
and subscribe there for the next edition.
Last weekend we went on a trip to Ohio. My two roommates Jon
and Anton, my former roommates Lukas and Eileen and I.
Ohio is not very spectacular, but they have this one huge
theme park there: CEDAR POINT.
I love riding rollercoasters and so do the others. So we had
one day just for riding coasters. And – the difference to Germany is: There
they have really big coasters, and not just one or two – they have ~15!
In Cedar point we got lucky and had bad luck at the same
time. We were stuck in a water ride at noon. The sun was burning down from the
sky directly into our face.
And we had to wait. At least for 45 minutes mechanics tried
to get the coaster running again, but unsuccessful. So we had to exit on half
way through the track. As a compensation they gave us two tickets each for entering
a attraction through the exit. So we did not have to wait in the line for
hours. All in all it was a good deal for us. :)
This week was interesting at work. We have some special
projects at the moment. And we are right in the planning for the CAR MBS in
Traverse City in August and the IAA in Frankfurt mid of September. As you can guess – it is not boring at work
though.
Last Tuesday was another fun-day after work for me. We went
to a Tigers-game to Comerica Park in Detroit Downtown.
To be honest, I don’t really understand Baseball, but it was
a fun evening. We had super weather. The match started at 7pm and we were able to sit in shorts and T-Shirt in the ballpark.
I tried to understand what they are doing there. But
baseball has so many weird rules – it did not really work. Anyways – thanks to
Anton and Jon who tried to bring me into baseball :)
Since it is Friday today the weekend – planning is done.
Directly after work today I’ll start to go up north to the Pictured Rocks. We’re the same group that went to Cedar Point
last weekend. It’ll be a looooong drive, but it will be worth it.
Beginning of August we’ll also have a new intern here,
Sophia will arrive. So you will also read some stories from her on this blog.
Stay tuned,
Niko
