Working in industry and working in academia is so different, although both could be equally stressful. Working in academia is a little more relaxing, and you have slightly more freedom to choose the object you're interested in. When you work in industry, you could face different chanllenges everyday, but it's much more rewarding financially.

As an English teacher, I find this video very well-structured and useful! As someone who loves to learn language, I wish I could find such good resources for, say, Mandarin Chinese.

Hi, Maria, nice to meet you!!! Oliver, now you have a beard!! Let me say that both are very nice teachers, maybe have the same edge then both are alike on the stile. Can I say equally chatty? 
I want to say that in my opinion México City, New York and London in the basic idea are the same great cities, but have a little bit differences. México City, have a lot of contrast and you can find a lot of suburbs into the city, and the transportation is not the best. New York have a very exclusive places into the city, you can walk and can't see the differences between the places; obviously if you go to the Bronx it is other place. And the transportations is the best. London, is a very touristic and cultural city everything is so planned. The transportation is so profound and the suburbs looks like a little ranch around the city, but all of them are very similar. 
All of these three cities are very dangerous there are many robbers, thieves and scammers.
