Goodbye London Interns!

Google work was great … But what I enjoyed even more than the work was the culture. There were about 25 summer interns in London, and together they took us to musicals, tours of the city, dinners, parties, etc … great fun, and really cool people. The Google offices themselves are amazing places. Apart from the obligatory foosball table/pool table/giant connect 4, one of my best “friends” there was our Japanese massage chair –Shiatsu and I became very close. Apart from that, what other places give you free (unlimited … oh yeah) breakfast and lunch, with chocolate, fruit and a wide selection of snacks and soft drinks 24 hours a day? It was just like Vegas! (with some obvious differences)
