Is this a trick question? ;-) I think you might have something broken if you haven't figured this out by now. Just below the dashboard, at the far, far left of the car (driver's left knee if you're sitting in the car), there should be a plastic handle attached to a cable. Pull this handle and the hood should "pop". If the handle is broken or missing, look for the cable. Grab the cable with some vise grips and give it a good yank.
Once the hood pops, there should be a latch up front on the hood, dead center, with a small lever that rocks the latch back and forth. Squeeze this lever and the latch should let go of the car and the hood should open.
If you can't find the cable, you may have to get to the latching mechanism from through the grill. If you look just above the VW logo in your grill, you should see where a cable may have once been, or perhaps a piece of a cable. Grab a large flat head screwdriver and push this piece to the right until the hood pops.
