I’m currently working in the Netherlands as an Electrical Design Engineer for RH Marine, which is a leading system integrator and innovator of electrical and automation systems in the maritime industry.

But as of now i learned so many things and I’m also putting my efforts to learn more.

The number of bikes on the street is striking. In Netherlands each and every person is using a bike!

What do you find most striking about the Netherlands / the Dutch?

The water management system with the canals and dredging technology.

The Netherlands direct communication is standard – within and between companies; They always go directly to the point and immediately tell you there opinion.

What do you do outside of working hours?

Cooking, exploring new places, biking, watching shows & movies online, talking & meeting new people.

What is the best thing you have experienced during your stay here?

Even though local people here speak the Dutch language, if they will come to know that front person doesn’t speak Dutch, they will immediately start talking in English. Which is a really appreciable thing. Even in office they speak English with each other for inviting you in their conversation.
