My First day the in Nederland Arnheim,
We arrived on Friday the 29 March at 18:15 , The weather was nice. Nelson and I were pick up and we were taken to Bed and breakfast , where we are now staying a beautiful place and It really feels like home. Around 19:20 we decided to go see the city ( Arnhem) 6km from Haveadorp, it quiet but an interesting city I love it . The following day (Saturday) we decided to go sightseeing in Amsterdam that was my first time to go there , it was extraordinary beautiful, busy city , everybody was positive, full of happiness , nice people and most especially the city is international many people speak English and I was very happy. We went to Vondel Park, Stedelijk museum, Von Gogh Museum and saw many canals which was very surprising for me compared to Düsseldorf. On Sunday we went to Lidl to buy some groceries , we cooks some nice meal and then spend the rest of the day at Bed and breakfast in Haveadorp.
First day at work was an overview of what a normal working time looks like. The experience was peculiar. The works start at 9:30 but we arrived at 9:20,we were warmly welcome and then introduced to every worker, we were thought how to say good morning, good afternoon in Nederland, it was so intresting after that we were given uniform to wear, I was able to communicate with workers and customers in English and German. I was send to the sale (marketing) apartment it was a great experience, I was able to learn some logistics for example how good are being packed out for sale and I was able to communicate with customers which help me to improve my communication skills on my first day. I’m looking forward to more wonderful experience and learning in the coming days.

Dear Kassim,
That sounds great! I am happy that your first day was a smooth and good start into the internship. Being able to help customers the first day shows that you already have experience. Is that right? If so, how else can you use this experience during your internship?
I‘m also happy that you used the chance to see the country and especially the capital: Amsterdam. Was it easy for you to get there? What does it make to you traveling so easily through a European country? Do you have any plans to see other countries in the Netherlands during your stay?
All the best,
RG
Thank you Mr Galletto,
Before my internship I learned a lot from my friends and social media „YouTube“ how to improve my confidence and to be able to use my communication skills with costumes and that has being helping me a lot at work.
We used the train from Arnhem to Amsterdam, it was approximately 1 hour 10 min,it wasn’t difficult for us go there because of the better and smooth transportation system here thank God for Technology. Technology and digitisation has always being fascinating to me and because of it development we were able to move from one city to another within an hour, it fast, easy,comfortable etc I love traveling, exploring and meeting new people,learning new culture, things etc,this is the reason why I would visit another city before I go back to Duesseldorf. Nederland is the first European country I have ever visited apart from me living in Germany but I hope to get more opportunities like this in the future to make my dreams come true.
