New Factory Tour

Well, yes, of course Portuguese, but of the Brazilian variant. Quite a significant difference, IMHO

That would be Portuguese is the most beautiful language in the world then!

I love that music. Great choice jpvillanueva. Brazilian is probably the most beautiful language in the world!

Joachim,

I think the Google office in Zurich is probably the best office space in the history of mankind. Unbelievable.

That's exactly why I picked it! : )

JP,

Que música fantástica: "esta mulata quando dança é luxo só." E a nova fábrica está linda também.

Sorry about the Portuguese JP, but with that bossa nova in the background, I couldn't resist.

These look very nice, indeed!

I currently only know of the new Google offices in Zürich to top these:

See: http://www.sinn-frei.com/das-google-office-in-zuerich_7644.htm

I'm glad you all got to upgrade. I remember when my friend and I found the old place for a visit. On our way in, we were wondering if we had gotten the address wrong!

A quality product now made at a quality place.

Cool!

hahahahahaha

I just thought about the old office.. and shuddered.

light487, The practice plan subscription is like having a premium subscription, except you get a phone (or skype call) call every day to practice your lesson of the day for 10 minutes or so.

I used it for a couple months last year before a trip to China and found the practice plan to be real useful service.

weird, after a posted that and that page reloaded, and I tried playing the video again it worked. never mind.

how come it says the video is no longer available after only one day? :(

Hey 微笑 (is that the right Hanzi?)

请问。。 What's it like having the practise subscription?

The new factory is very slick and bright. Is it heated? I saw a little coffee/tea bar. That looked really nice. And one of the best things as far as I am concerned is that the practice plan teachers have their own direct dial numbers. I no longer have to go through the recording and dial the extension. Huge improvement! I hope you will all be happy there. It is rare in this world to find a job that you really enjoy.

Tonyc,

To be honest, we don't really miss the old factory. We love this new place! We're all so happy here.

I'm sure, with time, we'll miss the old factory, but in kind of a "high school nostalgia" sort of way... it's fun to think of the good old days, but you wouldn't really want to return to them! :)

Very cool digs. Does anyone on the staff miss the factory now?

chillosk: 如果你工作在那兒,kalyespeak該有多好。很漂漂亮亮啊！

waaaa.. :) 新的办公室非常非常漂亮！我要工作在那儿，可以吗？我教菲律宾语。：）

Hi casie,

Just out of curiosity, 你的父母，朋友们，老师们，一般怎么称呼你啊？小林，小甜，小芳，林同学，还是”甜芳”？你有没有小名？

It's gorgeous.

意大利的国旗和墨西哥的国旗有些相似，所以我搞错了！

oops,

我错了，excuter,谢谢你纠正我的错误。

不对。。是墨西哥国旗。。。

As far as I can judge from the new factory,

their business model seems to have been successful.

Wow! You have a foyer! :) 哈哈!

And a desk for everyone.. and some space for community kitchen in the middle where people can gather and chat! And nice new carpet!! YEESSS!! CARPET!!!!!!! Hopefully Clay won't stink out the place with his smelly feet! :) haha.. just kidding Clay! :)

I didn't see the toilet..? Where is the toilet? Is it a proper one this time? Or what? :) Lots of nice, new, clean and shiny glass too! :) weeee! How exciting! :)

Time index 0:25.. was that Amber? Or someone who looks like Amber?

It's what you -- all of you -- deserve! Again, wow!!!!! I wish all of you a very time in the new place...

Wow, swanky! Thanks, J!
