Day 8: Kreuzlingen and the Fakuma Plastics Show

Another late night train ride and we arrived in Kreuzlingen. We immediately headed for the hostel in a mini death-march across the town. When we got there some of us decided to explore, but couldn't really find anything to do that didn't require a long walk or a train ride. So we hit the hay, which was a good idea because we had to be up early the next day. We woke up around 6:30 to travel to the Fakuma plastics show in Germany. In order to get there we first jumped on the train, then boarded a ferry, then took a bus. Once at the plastics show we were set free to explore the huge show on our own. I would say as a group, we had a great time. There were things at the show that impressed us and were really interesting. Some of us felt like geeks talking about plastic parts and trying to get the best samples (but afterall that was the main point of the trip!). After the show was over we took a bus, ferry, and train back to the hostel in Kreuzlingen. From there some decided to go to a neighboring city of Konstance and see some of Germany.





Aldo Kremmel, Aja Zanoni, and Graham Segal are pictured here outside of Arburg's exhibit at the show. Many students stopped by Arburg not only because they had some incredible stuff, but to thank them for donating some of the tickets to the group.
