Volkswagon plant and new haircut

So this morning we went to the volkswagon plant.  That was really, really cool.  We got to walk around some and then we rode in these volkswagon buses with the tops cut off.  The tour was entirely in Spanish, which is helpful for learning spanish, but at times frustrating if you are still learning ´cause I wanted to know the *information.*  But I got enough clarification that I wasn´t so lost.  They have a school for 15-19 year olds (girls and boys) that teaches them how to make parts and how to run the robots and other things.  They also take Spanish, Math and Science.  Really neat tech program.  I walked in and was immediately like "Those kids are 15 years old!"  But then they explained why they were there.  They were really distracted when we walked in and were watching them.  They giggled and showed off how well they could cut with hacksaws.  Very funny.  We couldn´t have cameras but I would have loved to have a picture of that.

 

Then we saw them make Jettas.  Did you know that the chassis is all one piece?  Then they put on the motor, gas tank etc...Also the dashboard is all one piece, including the airbags.  Very interesting.  Then we saw where they were making the new Beatles, but didn´t go in there.  They make 1400 cars a day.  All very interesting.

 

So this afternoon I went and got my haircut.  I paid 70 pesos ($7) and 20 for a tip and then 30 pesos there and back for the taxi...What is that $15 for a haircut???  Pretty good huh considering it was a really nice salon.

 

Then we went and sat in a mall for an hour or so and got some mango ice cream and then we came back to school...A productive day.
