Today’s our final day in Amsterdam! I began my day by walking to a bagel shop nearby with a few other people in our group. I got a mocha and a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was a great way to start our morning, and we had another beautiful day! After our breakfast, we…

Today, we visited the University Van Amsterdam’s business school. We walked to their campus in the morning, and were given a tour around their campus by two current business students. Their campus was really beautiful! It also helped that it was such a beautiful day outside.  We visited their main building and we also saw…

Today was a more relaxing day! We began our day by traveling to Utrecht, which is the city that Sophia currently lives in.

We had an organized free day today, so it was pretty relaxing! Today, we visited Ij-Hallen, which is the largest vintage market in Europe! To get here, we took the metro and then got on a ferry.

It was another really beautiful day today! The sun was shining, and although the wind made it a bit chilly, it was a great benefit for the amount of power that the windmills could generate!

We had a bit of a later start today, leaving for our company visit at noon. First, we took the tram to Amsterdam’s Red Light District to see the first ever 3D-printed stainless steel bridge, installed by the company MX3D.

Not to mention the constant rain, which made today’s plans a bit more difficult to…
