After two weeks of classes and the first exams, the process of getting to know each other and each other's cultures continued with the "Pow-Wow", a company visit to "Ensinger" and to Stuttgart, where team work was needed, to solve the riddles of the "escape rooms".
At the "Pow-Wow" every nation prepared a movie, a dish, a game or a presentation to teach the others students about traditions and their countries.
It was a fun and interesting time and everyone was then looking forward to the next excursion, which was our 2 day trip to Nürnberg.

First, we visited ‘Faber-Castell’, the world's first hexagonal pencil maker and the largest producer of pencils. After that, we went to ride thrilling Karts. The team consisted of 3 persons who had to race for 70 minutes, requiring teamwork and strategic skills. The next day we visited a beer company ‘Tucher’, enjoyed a refreshing beer and ate Schäufele, a new experience for the international students.

On Friday, March 9th, the IPB-spring class went to Gundelsheim to enjoy a wine-tasting and dinner in a very typical "Besenwirtschaft". We got to try 4 different local wines and many culinary specialties, and had an enjoyable evening with lots of fun, new information and delicious food.

In summary, you can say that we learned a lot about the variety of German culture.
