It was a busy week. We learned a lot and had a good practice.
We were communicating with:

•  company current and patential distributors and partners from Russia, Estonia and England by phone and by emails, discussing different details of contructs, meetings and orders;
•  freight forwarding companies by emails to start co-operating work with our company, sending them quote requests for different deliveries of goods do different countries;

Also we were counting the weight, volume, size, destination and prices of packages and its delivery, and we made a comparison between freight forwarding companies to decide, which of them is the most suitable for company.


We learned new terms of INCOTERMS 2010. It is very important. If you know, it can save your money and time.


And every day we were working with documentation. Orders, invoices, proformas, certificates of origin, packing instructions, explanations, declarations and others.

We started this day with Julia visiting The Leeds Castle in Maidstone.

 A large residence for queens and kings was amazing with its beauty and luxury of living.

 I was very impressed. I didn't expect to see white and black swans, white and colorful peacocks just walking freely around the castles' garden.

 It is a perfect place for spending your weekend, people just walking there with their children, have a picnic on the grass, playing football, tennis and badminton.

You can also have fun, climbing on training ground for knights

 or getting lost in the  garden maze

and getting to the water cave =))

It is a very beautifull town in the centre of countryside, which is called here like "The Green Garden of England".We visited Primark, Next, H&M, Mark&Spensor,Tesco and other big famous shops in England and had a lot fun.
