Is even more snow possible?? Yes, in Canada!!!



Having had the chance to experience a lot of snow in Detroit, and even more up north in Indian River, it was now time to check out the amount of snow even further north in another country-  Canada!!!

Our destination was the township of Muskoka Lakes in the Canadian province of Ontario where we wanted to meet up with some friends. One of our friends has a cottage up there right next to Lake Muskoka in the city of Port Carling. Muskoka Township with over 1,600 lakes is known for being a popular tourist destination with lots of cottages. A lot of people love to come here in the summer time as well as in  in the winter, just as we did.

Without traffic and snow it usually takes about 6 hours to get there from Royal Oak, but since it was really snowy we didn’t arrive in Port Carling before midnight, having left at 4:00 pm. After we arrived, a late night dinner in front of the fire in the very pretty and warm cottage was a nice ending to the day.

Saturday, after a wonderful breakfast or maybe it’s better to say brunch, we enjoyed a long day outside in the wonderful nature of Ontario. We tried cross country skiing and enjoyed the vast diversity of nature around the cabin and lake. We also found skiing on snow covered roads was as much fun as skiing in the woods and across the lake.

After coming back from a long day outside, it was time to prepare our dinner and use the chance to get a little bit warmer inside the cabin. After having warmed up we went outside again and started shoveling a fire pit in the middle of the snow, where after finishing we sat and drank hot beverages at night. It was a nice opportunity to bring to an end what turned out to be an amazing day.
  



After waking up on Sunday, even before having breakfast, we put the snowshoes on and started a little hike through the woods. Seeing the untouched snow everywhere and making the first footprints in it was more than wonderful.  Coming back to the cottage after, it was time to have lunch and enjoy the last opportunity to sit together before it was time to head back to the USA.

Looking back, this weekend past by really quickly, but it was an awesome time with a lot of unforgettable experiences and of course soooooooo much snow.

I won’t be an intern anymore. :)

Hi everybody! There is news again from my life. You know, I am a person who never stops doing something. Either I travel almost every weekend (like I did in the States) or I am looking for new challenges all the time. :-) Well, my internship in Munich as a marketing consulting intern is not too bad, but I have finished University…so what I want is a real job and not an internship. (The only internship I would love to do, even after I graduated, is the one I already did with AutoCom). :) So I continued applying for jobs. I restricted the area to Bavaria for the first applications, because I love that part of Germany. I love the Bavarian dialect (it is so cute and sexy the same time). I love their “Brezn” and their white sausages. And here is the news: I will start on the 26th of November as an employee at Novartis. Novartis is a huge German pharmaceutical company. I will work there for the strategic sourcing marketing. So I will be the one choosing agencies, advertising materials and so...

It feels good to be home!

After completing my third year at Northern Michigan University in the Upper Peninsula, it feels good to be back home and in the office again. Larry was very gracious in allowing me to come back to AutoCom. For those of you that do not know me, my name is Tedi Falvo. Last summer I did an internship with AutoCom, and learned a lot about public relations outside of the classroom. Books can only teach you so much- the real learning comes when you go out on your own and put everything you have learned to the test. Last summer was a great experience, and I was thankful to work with such a great staff that was willing to help me succeed. While I was in Marquette, Mich. continuing my studies in public relations, and sociology, I remained in contact with AutoCom. When I had a question regarding an aspect of my studies, I always knew where to turn! It is nice to have wonderful people surrounding and filling you with all of their knowledge. That is one aspect I love about working here-everyone wo...

Time to say Goodbye

Only two days left until Don Haberek will leave the AutoCom Team. He was our COO, interns supervisor and the best cake cutter ever! He always had time for the intern's issues and was listening very patiently and carefully to us. Even if he had to repeat his advice a billion times for the foreign interns! But he wasn't only a great interns supervisor. He also gave everbody the oppotunity to gain some weight, when he was cutting perfectly our (nearly weekly ;-)) cake. We really hope, we will find somebody who has the same great technic to cut a cake: 1) Be very gentle to the cake! 2) Use a very sharpe-edged knife, especially our chocolate junky Mareike doesn't want to waste a bit! 3) Be sure that you cut enough pieces. But we think we allready have a new cake cutter. After a long long time Don finally found his twin brother. And accidentally he is working for AutoCom aswell. :-) Who is dressing like Don, must have the same skills! Thanks for everything, we wi ll miss having...
