To sum up: Brussels
Brussels looks like something out of a fairy tail for me. Musicians all over the streets, dancing and laughing people, old houses with shop signs, and definitely the main square with a magnificent light show and music, which gave a feeling we are tiny people inside the music box. Unforgettable and unbelievable! I'm in love with this city, please forget me here...
Olga
This city has it charms, which are difficult to resist. It was a discovery for me: architecture, art, history (old and modern) and music altogether mesmerize you and make you forget about everything, let you be in flow with these happy people which are allowed to stay here, to breathe this air and feel this magic everyday.

Day 3. Chocolate factory
We were guests on awesome small chocolate factory named "Conceptual chocolate"
Things you should know about chocolate:
White chocolate IS chocolate (it includes cocoa butter)
Average person in Switzerland eats 10,5 kg of chocolate each year
Belgium chocolate is the best because they make it with soul and really love it!
In Europe ALL chocolate with filling calls "praline"
Ideal temperature is between 29 and 31
Tastiest dark chocolate contents 60-65 % of cocoa powder
All this presentation was really MAGIC!
Our girls tried themselves as Belgian chocolatiers - very successfully!

Day 2. Free time: Greenwich Tavern, Museum of Comics and mussels in Brussels
After visiting EP we had free time. We (Diana and Olga), Corey, Tommi and Toni decided to visit Pizza Hut an old tavern, famous for being visited by famous singer (or chanteur) Jacques Brel, Belgian artist Rene Magritte and chess player Harry Kasparov, who was here not just to drink a couple of beers - this place is also well-known as the chess tavern - place, where you always (not true, only in the evening) can find a person to duel in chess.
BTW, Tommi was definitely our champion!
After that we went to Museum of Comics - this is indeed heaven for those, who love comics (LOGICALLY) and art. Different styles, different ages altogether makes HUGE impression (yeah, I am a fan of this suff, so what? (c) Diana)
We had a lot of fun!
In the evening we met with other part of group and went to the Butchers Street to eat some mussels and fries and drink Belgium beer OOPS. No, no, of course not - it's a STUDY trip. No beer. Nope.
Which destination shall we choose?
I am proud to say that mussles cargo was succesfully delievered to our stomaches!
P.S. We definitely should repeat it, guys!
P.P.S. Hope, someone will write about their free time as well...

Day 2. European Parliament
This post was made by Olga (type) and Diana (type)
As all previous, actually
The second day we spend in Brussels. We had planned an excursion to Europen Parliament were laws and restrictions are created by people and for money people and a meeting with one of the Finnish MEP’s who was a nice woman from Jyvaskyla, brave enough to be a politician and loves taking selfies.
It is hard to believe that we were standing at the same place where political leaders can change this world to something better. Do they?
That went really well, we were impressed by the surroundings and got answers for our questions even tricky one. Chidi was the best questionnaire as usual!

Day 1. Port of Rotterdam
Which logistician doesn't know the Port of Rotterdam? The dumb one probably
This is the largest port in Europe and one of the busiest in the world, which consists of five distinct port areas and three distribution parks. Our choice was the new one - Maasvlakte, so we hired a bus and went there searching for adventure logistics.
So our guide Winnie took us to the FUTURELAND of the PoR.
The balance between nature and industry is VERY difficult to reach, but it seems like Rotterdammers found this "golden midlle" and are planning to develop both. Interlacement of reservation beach with its original animal species and urban landscape full of industrial cranes and machines took our breath away for whole hour of this journey.
Museum, which tells about future of logistics in this port area, raised a lot of questions (for example: Is such ideal model even possible?) and gave us a lot of fun!
(P.S. Tony, our congratulations with the best score - 0:21. Cheers to the champion!)
It's difficult to predict right now if reality and expectations will match, time will show us. But I strongly believe dreams and fairytales come truth. Age doesn't matter, wish and support do. And degree in Logistics Engineering

Day 1. Rotterdam Maritime University & "Oasis of the Seas"
Our adventure started with ferry trip: we missed our stop and crew brought us back to right one for free and incredibly fast (thanks to awesome Captain Lady).
Following our teachers and Jeroen Visser, we reached the 12th floor of this giantic building.
RMU reminded some futuristic ship with all these escalators and orange walls and decorations.
This place seems to be really nice to study at: everything is moving, full of life, there are people of any age, starting with 7-8 years old children (they have a special school) and all you need to see and learn about is just behind your window!
Lecture about Port of Rotterdam (given by a real Rotterdammer) was very inspirational: history, development and future possibilities - the progress of this port amazed everybody!
Our attention was caught by the world's largest cruise ship - "Oasis of the Seas". Compared to small boats around, it felt even bigger (as if it is possible...) We were watching this ship procession through the looking glass the windows in childish excitement.
Our next stop was Port of Rotterdam...
