Two weeks ago I visited the Google's Headquarters in Mountain View for the second time and would like to share with you guys some of the cool stuff I saw inside. From the outside the headquarters look like a regular American college campus.
Ok, maybe not so regular.
When you go inside things get a bit crazy. It feels like a mixture of a science museum, college dorm, playground, the smart house that falls in love with Marge from The Simpsons, and a hippie commune.
A full-scale replica version of the SpaceShipOne
180 degree screen with images from Google Street View. Who knows where that is? :)
A Google Maps camera car
A giant Android phone that lets you play games
One of the meeting rooms
A micro-kitchen, which has free coffee, drinks and snacks. Most of the things they have are healthy and organic.
Chewing gums at the micro-kitchen (for free too)
You can never forget you are at Google because you can see its logo EVERYWHERE!
You can do your laundry while at work... For free, of course!
If you need to take a power nap you can use this nap pod
One of the cafeterias where Google workers can have lunch and dinner. Also,
every Thursday they do here an one-hour internal presentation with Q&A hosted by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in which they show some products that are being developed by Google. Only Google workers can attend those presentations though

One of the Google building's lobby. And yes, that thing on the right side is a slide!
The slide in more detail
After the slide you can just go and play snooker
