Return From Amsterdam to Detroit
After 15 days in central Europe, James’ class comes to a conclusion.
James visited many different countries, toured many plants and learned about different businesses and business practices. He also did some work while in these plants, going over ledgers and such.
Needless to say Mom and Dad were anxious to get James home, he got through customs without any issues and was picked up at Metro airport in Romulus.
James had two fantastic trips this year, many students don’t get any so he is very thankful to Wayne State College for this wonderful opportunity. James saw 6 countries on this trip, and saw 2 countries on the France trip (France and England) so he saw 8 European countries in a two month period and it all counted as college credits, a pretty smart move on Jame’s part.
At this point James does not have any more over sea classes scheduled for his upcoming Senior year.
Return to Amsterdam
James and his class have completed their tour and are now back where they started, in Amsterdam. Originally when they flew into Amsterdam they immediately travelled to Poland and did not see too many sites in the city prime. This visit will be very busy with sight seeing and many educational opportunities for the class.
Some of the businesses that were visited included farms and bakeries, along with standard industry. Perhaps the most important visit was to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. Unfortunately James could only take pictures of the outside of the home.
Annelies Marie “Anne” Frank was a German-born Jewish girl who kept a diary in which she documented life in hiding under Nazi persecution during the German occupation of the Netherlands. She is a celebrated diarist who described everyday life from her family’s hiding place in an Amsterdam attic.
James Flight To Amsterdam
This is actually Jame’s first event or class as a senior at Wayne State University. James signed up for a European Business class where they will be gone for 15 days and studying business abroad.
James was all packed and ready ahead of time for his flight. He had to get their a couple hours early as is common these days.
Once he got through security, and through customs, it was a matter of waiting. However once on board James showed some of the new technology that is available to people on long flight. Meanwhile Mom and Dad were tracking his flight on their own from the Delta website.
James arrived safely there (and back of course)
