Today's doodle by Google


“My meaning simply is, that whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; that whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely; that in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest.”
David Copperfield




BERLIN

AS WRITTEN BY MY COLLEAGUE VICKY

For those lucky guys who are travelling to Berlin just in a few days, as well as for those of us who are staying here, here's a little bit of information about Berlin.
Remember that Berlin is a city full of HISTORY, where you'll be able to see and touch the great wall that divided Europe for so many years.
Have a nice trip!!!
