First Week at AutoCom!
Hello to everybody:
My name is Peter Wessenberg, I am from
Straubing, Germany, a smaller town in the south of Bavaria, near Ratisbon. I am
the second intern here at AutoCom Associates for the next upcoming six months.
I will tell you a little bit of my first experience since my arrival. My first
day in Detroit Metropolitan was Thursday September 25st. My
colleague picked me up from the airport and gave me a ride to my apartment in
Royal Oak. After a 40-minute drive we arrived there and my landlady Carol was already
there to introduce me to my new home for the next 6 months. She is a good
contact for housing in Royal Oak. It is a comfortable location for young people
with an appropriate distance to work, which will takes about 30 minutes by car.
The whole house and especially my room were cozy and
well equipped. You don’t need to bring much on your own. In the first picture
you can see one of the beautiful sunsets here, directly in front of our front
porch. |

My new flat mates
took me out on my first day to a little burger restaurant called “Jim Brady’s”
- A good address for fresh-made burgers and other dishes out of an american
cuisine in Royal Oak. What you will definitely need is your own car; you can
lease one or buy one. I would advise you to buy one because it can be sold
afterwards; which eventually is cheaper. My new friends also took me to the
“Somerset Collection” (sec. picture) a big mall beside Woodward Ave. You will
find a lot of magnificent stores there with a good selection of clothing and
other. As you can see, there is a lot to explore around here. My first day at
work was very interesting. The whole team is really nice and friendly. You will
get your introductions and can ask whatever you want;
which helps a lot in the beginning.
