Teaching ESL at Google

So, i often go to interesting business locations for teaching English here in Taiwan. I've taught at several different government offices, and today i just finished a class at Taipei City Hall. Taipei City Hall is pretty close to the Taipei 101 building, the tallest building in the world and massive center of commerce for the country (unless of course the even taller building in Dubai has finished construction, in which case 101 is now number 2). So next week i'm going to start teaching at Google in Taipei 101, which is pretty interesting considering i often tap away in the Google search engine, and yet have never had a more concrete experience of the company. I didn't even know they had an office in Taipei. Go figure. So it should be interesting and will hopefully have a good view since the office is on the 36th floor of the building.
