I didn’t know if this forum is dedicated to show off our achievements . So… just want to share a little bit of what I have achieved until early January 2020 since I regularly post comments and photos for places I have visited around the city where I live, Marseille, and its surroundings across the coastal southern French region, on Google Maps here:
My first motivation in posting photos and comments for Google is that because in the past when I was still in my home country, Indonesia, I heard about people having been invited to Google headquarter in USA. Then I feel like, “Oh really? I’ve been dreaming to see the Sillicon Valley, why not give it a try for myself?”.
Later on when I moved to France in 2018, I started to make contributions to Google maps even more regularly. I mean almost every time I step into a place, whether it’s a museum, supermarket, restaurant, I always bring my smartphone with me to capture several pics and make a quick, sometimes thorough observation, of it. I also try to write the comments in local language with a hope that it’ll help others get to know about the place they want to go, apart from improving my written French as well. Anyway, I never expected the views will achieve this far until Google sent me this notice.
Thank you, Google, for boosting my confidence .
