Wednesday May 21st-Sydney Colglazier

Starting off the day with a boat tour was nice. I love being out on the water, but this felt like we had already seen a big part of what we already saw. We did get to see a little bit more of the big barge ships and how those are loaded up. Later on [...]

The town of Delft was okay. It was a beautiful city and it was really nice to see the Dutch culture without so many tourists, but it was much of a quiet do nothing kind of time. Some of us did decide to climb the church tower, and that was really fun, but very torturous [...]

Coming into the Netherlands was a whole different beast for me. It is not a country that I have seen before. The Dutch seem to be very open and not as secluded and to themselves as the Germans are. It will definitely take some getting used to here in the Netherlands!

While we were there all I could think was "How do I apply?" Working in a manufacturing plant like that is where I do want to [...]
