London, the BBC, Headshift and what I’m actually doing
Now that I’ve finally got internet access in my lovely little room, it’s time to reactive my blogging.
As you, or rather the millions of people reading this blog, might have noticed, I’ve decided to blog in English, contributing to my aim to lose my mother tongue.
Most of the people reading this should be able to understand or even speak this language anyway, so that’s fair enough I suppose.
Before working at Headshift, your favourite social software company I’d had a wonderful time with the information architecture team of the BBC, gaining an insight into that intriguing institution and getting to know very nice and interesting people, such as Chris whom I’ve hopefully inspired to work on his page again ;)
For those of you who don’t know it yet: I’ve found a nice flat to share with Martin from Slowakia, Cinthia from France and May from Malaysia. So I’ve finally managed to experience intercultural communication in practice and to date it’s been working out quite well.
Besides a fair price for my room another great thing is the location:
It takes me just 7 minutes by train or 20 minutes by bike from New Cross Gate to London Bridge, where I’m working, which is really relaxing considering the packed and stuffy tube.
Last but not least, to give you an impression of what Headshift is actually doing, check out this great slideshow, provided by Lee, one of Headshift’s founders:
Feel free to comment or complain that this blog is now an English language one :)
I love reading these arcitles because theyre short but informative.
