Went for a visit to Google on a Sunday and it was great. Yeah there were no actual Googlers around anywhere, other than a few inside the scattered buildings of the complex, but that just meant we could walk around without interrupting the business and employees. There were actually a few dozen visitors around the complex taking photos and riding the bicycles, but the security guards were quite happy to let us go about it, which was great. Had an absolute blast riding the Google bicycles around the complex - there are so many buildings, it was really interesting to see the varying styles of each one, and the Googliness applied to them. Took photos with all the Android statues, and also managed to stumble upon some other things like the Noogler Android statue, one of the 6-seater conference bicycles, and an awesome-looking park (shame it was only open to Google staff - would have loved to have ridden the bicycle around their bmx-style course). Would have been nice to see some Googlers around (to experience the Google atmosphere), but was also kinda glad not to be disturbing them. Would also have been great to have a simple little cafe and shop on site for the visitors like me - it kinda surprised me that this didn't already exist because they'd make buckets of money selling to the keen nerds and geeks visiting the complex, but never mind, maybe some day in the future. Was a great experience, glad I went.
