International Companies Rule!

So I got to go to Canada for the first time, for training. It was an intensive 3-day course in Marketing - learning how to provide what the customer wants without putting yourself out of business (solid concept, yes). The cool part was that this training was held on a company-owned island in Canada right outside of Detroit. There are three or four lodges, each housing about 10 people, and you stay on the island the whole time. It started out a little rocky - the weather was bad so I was dropped off alone on the island in the rain on Sunday evening with an "I'll be back eventually with the others but I'm not sure when" from the boat captain. The ominous laugh may or may not have been imagined. And then I was on my own for the next several hours until 3 others showed up and we were able to play some poker. The island also was equipped for multiple miscellaneous sporting activities. Here is a view from my bike trip around the island.
