Well Jhondie,
You were lucky enough to see it, but don’t say where it is (for security reasons)

Hello,
This is not an official Google office, it has no affiliation whatsoever with Google, according to “The Google Story,” a book about Google, Inc.
Also, this picture was taken from the book in 2005 that David Vise wrote. According to this book, this picture is not Baghdad. It’s Cairo, Egypt, and it’s NOT an internet office, it’s just an internet cafe!
Just felt the need to clarify.

Esra’a,
Of course the photo is not true. It’s just a joke. And I did write below that it is of an Internet Cafe.
Thank you for stopping by.

As far as I know it’s still Cairo though, not Baghdad.

Its nice to see a little bit of humour introduced although we all know there is nothing funny in the plight of the Iraqi people.
I lived in Iraq for over 30 years (I am British)and raised a family there. The old days (in the 70’s) were the best we ever had, life was good then. Gradually those days passed away and the darker period was born, the suffering began which has increased each year, now each day and hour. God Save Iraq and its people.
