Today we went to Delph to explore the city, Kinderdijk to see the windmills, and then a boat ride through the port of Rotterdam. It was a really chill day again, where we got to go at our own pace, and everything we did was really beautiful. It was great to see some different parts [...]

Today was a pretty chill day in the Netherlands. We visited Arasmus University, visited Mauritshuis art museum, and had dinner on board the SS Rotterdam. It was a great day, and it was cool to meet some of the Dutch students, many of them travel from across Europe to go to the school. Mauritshuis was [...]

They use 98% automation in their factories, so [...]

Today, we visited the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche Factories (Porsche was better). It was a great experience to see the differences in how the two factories handle their manufacturing processes. The main difference was the use of human and robot interactions. Mercedes boasted about their implementation of technology in the body technology shop, and it was [...]

Today was mostly a travel day, but I got to interact with German culture through the airports and some of the people I talked to while traveling. From what I was told, Germany take their rules very seriously and will abide by them, whether they seem harsh to others, specifically Americans in lines at the [...]
