London again and again :)
Last weekend Chema and me were working in London. Although it can sound strange, we were looking for a flat.
Why is Igalia looking for a flat? It is simple, one of our main goals is to be able to work in a complete English environment, developing, writing, listening and speaking in English. Last year we had an item in our budget for a subsidy to go abroad to learn English. However, this year, we have changed this item to take advantage of the amount of money we are going to spend.
This flat will be available for the members of the assembly to go to London to learn English or to work in a complete English environment during several weeks.
The first step of this experiment was to get the flat. At this moment we are in the process of renting it. You can see one of our bedrooms:
Now we have to prepare it for living there, establish some rules for share the flat between us and then, we only need to enjoy it!.

This budget can be used to strengthen our knowledge on different areas we’d like to improve, ranging from technical things to business, finance, etc. On the other hand, accommodation will be fully covered by the brand-new apartment Igalia has rented in London. Thought in the beginning as a good way to help workers go abroad for improving their English, I think it can also be a good tool for many of us who would like to take advantage of the many conferences and events that are organize in London throughout the year.
