Toyota M--- zzzzzz

This hasn't been updated in ages, and I am solely to blame. I will try to make this entry worthwhile enough to make up for the long time it took me to update.

Today was our trip to TMMC (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada). The bus ride was approximately one and a half hours there and back. I'm actually bothering to mention this because the trip over there dominated most of our time away from school. The trip was fairly uneventful except for people rebelling against the seating plan and vandalized train compartments.

At TMMC we went around and got to see the different types of processes involved in the manufacturing of a car. Currently TMMC is manufacturing Lexus RX350 and is the only plant in North America/Outside of Japan that has been allowed to do this. The tour was very informative but slightly on the boring side.

Aside from our trip to TMMC we've started learning about the types of businesses. Please refer to my wiki entry on the subject to learn more about it. We're going to be diving into stocks for the next little while, with our 100,000 fictional dollars! We are to choose 5 companies and track them for 6 weeks. We'll find out who gains the most profit at the end.

That's an update of the most recent events...I shall start posting often once more.
