If you are a commuter in the city, just ask yourself what color of the cloth of the passengers sitting next to you this morning. I am afraid that most of you cannot tell.
After being a local guide, my habit started to change. I will spend more time to observe the people, the buildings, the foods, the interesting things that surrounding me. My mobile phone is a tool for me take records and the local guide program is a place for me to share them. I enjoy to give comment and find the interesting things and keep all such records in the google map.
As I keep on spending more time to appreciate the world, I will find more interesting things come to me. For instance, most European love sunbathing but the people of South East Asia try to avoid the sunshine. When I was running in the Rama 9 garden of Bangkok, I often see that the local people love to covering themselves 100% preventing from sunshine. I guess they may scare skin cancer, dark spots, or tanned skin. Whatever the reason is, it is an interesting observation I can share in the local guide.
I do hope you may enjoy my input in the local guide too.
