Lunch at Google

I was invited to the Google Beijing office for lunch yesterday. There building is very near where I live in Wudaokou 五道口 in a commercial complex called Tsing Hua Science Park. Needless to say, it was very Google-like, with colorful hallways, lounges, some cubicles wildly decorated by stressed-out engineers. 

The highlight was definitely lunch. BJ Googlers eat in a canteen which felt like a high school cafeteria. There was a Chinese corner (many choices) and a Western corner (not so many choices). The quality of ingredients and way of cooking was quite high. I had duck & lotus root soup, abalone (???!!!) with tofu, fish, chicken, salad, yam, fruit....best lunch since coming to BJ!

Facilities and freebies in BJ office:

- all kinds of drinks

- all kinds of fruit

- snacks like chocolate, biscuits, cookies

- coffee, tea

- massage chair

- massage room with 3 tables & massuse

- gym with trainer
