Time to relax! Eating haring on Friday.


We sometimes take time for this too: eating & socializing combined

.. Remark for outsiders: this is NÓT a general "picture" ;)

Friday afternoon Jan Peters likes to get haring in town. Not being selfish, he also asks all people present if they would like some haring too. Well, this is usually very much appreciated!! By the way, for those who don't know how this is supposed to be done, watch: Haringkje happen
As you can see, we take this moment to sit together, eating and enjoying the moment. Some of us are going "completely wild". Some who either missed the 'order' or just don't like haring, also like to participate, not wanting to be excluded from the lot, or not wanting to miss any fun.
Joost, for instance, joined us with the message: "And now I would like to show you my sandwiches cheese!"
I'm not sure if yoou still like to eat this fish, after reading the following article!: Wist_je_dat_Haringen... ??!!

IBV class to Antwerp!

On Friday 20 March we went to Antwerp with the IBV (minor) class. It was a trip to the city of Antwerp, a visit to the Karel de Grote and a tour inside the big logistics company Katoennatie.
The programme was as follows:

08.00 departure 08.45 Arrival Antwerp (Karel de Grote University) 9.15 Guestspeaker on Cultural Differences between Belgium and Holland
10.00 City tour Antwerp with 2 english speaking guides 12.30 Lunch at Karel de Grote University
14.00 Company visit to 'Katoennatie' (large logistical organisation in Antwerp Harbor)
17.00 return to Breda

The guestspeaker was certainly interesting, I think especially for the foreign students. Amazing that the differences between such small neighbouring countries can be soo large!
The tour through the city with a friendly guide was nice, certainly while we were having such a good weather. It was here that I found out that the Dutch female students had made a nick name for me: MIB, meaning Mannie in Black! I can say I don't really mind this nick name, there are worse to think of. A very comfortable cup of coffee on the 'Groenplaats' (coffee for me, beer for the guys, and the girls had something else.. beer too?) gave a pleasant ending to the tour.
Than finally the visit to Katoennatie. A very big company, with great and very professionally organised logistics. They gave us a good and clear explanation how the inbound, replenishment and outbound processess are working for two main Key Accounts (Quicksilver and Decathlon). I must say it was very educational, and a nice freshening up for me as a lecturer logistics!
