Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday wow!
From day one it has being very educational, interesting and fun with both workers and customers at Hema in Arnhem. I was able to learn different things at work, from Tuesday to Thursday I was allowed to work in the inventory, the person in charge there is a hard working man who thought me many things. The Inventory is a place where goods are stored, from delivery ( new goods) or from the shop ( old good). It has different categories with many goods, for example Kosmetik, baby dress, food, school and office etc. Every shelves has a code and a number as well as every good has a code an a number. When the sales department want to get some particular good from the inventory they send me with a paper where the codes and numbers are and also names of the products or goods that I should bring up to them. Technology has made it very simple, I looked the paper read the last three numbers or scanned the code with a PDA and look for the shelve, when I saw it I scanned it with the PDA Maschine it will then immediately show me a number and if it matches with the number on the paper then it the right shelve and the right product. The scanner is a Motorola PDA Maschine and very easy to use. Moreover I was also send to the sales department to deliver some goods and I was also able to interact with customers which was very interesting.

Dear Kassim,
It sounds like great fun and an amazing experience!
Concerning the cross cultural differences: Did you notice any differences between the Dutchmen and the Germans?
Dear Mrs Stieldorf
It a beautiful experience here wonderful coworkers and customers at Hema.Some of the difference I noticed between Germans and Dutchman are,the Dutchmen are more happier with there country than the Germans in the Nederland you see their country flag out a lot for example in shops,Hauses,cars etc and they always talk about there country compare to the Germans,also the food is different the Dutch food is centered around sweet thing for example Stroopwafels and the German food centered around bread, potatoes and soup, in the Nederland they speak a lo of English than in Germany,moreover in the Nederland they ride more bikes compare Germany and the Co-worker are more friendly and easy to work with than in Germany but the Germans are more polite when speaking to someone they see at the first time because of the (Sie). These are my personal experience and differences I have seen here so far.
Dear Kassim,
Thank you for sharing your working experience with us. This is a great example of how technology makes our life easier.
