Every Friday, Googlers round up some of the best posts they came across during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, Durga Puja, a hometown visit, and more.
@FelipePK : My pick for this week is an incredible narrative told by our friend, Local Guide @Breno_Varejao . In his post “Faça o bem sem olhar a quem,” he tells us about the amazing project he has been doing for the locals of Amazonas. I found the simplicity of life there really captivating. If you are curious, check out his post.
@RadieN : This week, the post “回嘉 嘉義~家鄉懷念的遊記。”caught my attention. In it, Local Guide @cloverhsc talks about his recent trip to his hometown, Jiayi. He visited the street market and enjoyed the local delicacies. I liked his photos of hard-working people and the great things they create and sell. He presented the unique spirit of the place really well.
@Aruni : Durga Puja is an amazing festival celebrated in both India and Thailand! This festival is celebrated for 10 days. People should visit Kolkata during the festivities to enjoy the city and its many interesting things around it. Read @monurrra12 's post titled “Kolkata in Durga Pujo” to learn more about Kolkata and Durja Puja.
@VitB : “Winter illumination in your neighborhood” written by @HiroyukiTakisawa is an awesome post to check out this week. The post features holiday light decorations in Japan and includes lots of beautiful photos. @HiroyukiTakisawa shares info about an annual winter illumination festival at Koiwai Fram which you can visit for free as well as an awesome light installation at Yahaba Station. His post will definitely get you in the holiday spirit!

Thank you for sharing the Friday Favourites with us. Also Thanks to all fellow guides, who shares their marvellous posts with us. It is actually a pleasure to be here and learn about different cultures, palaces and foods etc. Specially i find it very helpful here, where i can learn and enjoy at the same time.
Hello @IrrPavlova , thank you for your interest about my favourite district.
Definitely, it is my home district. We call her Sylhet (Map Location), It is situated in the north east part of Bangladesh.
Though our national language is Bengali, but we have our own native language, it is known as Sylheti Nagari. Here is a Wikipedia link Sylhet, if you want you can take a glimpse.
Moreover i am a bit philanthropic, i love and respect every nation and culture of our world, because we all have our own generosity.
Thank you again and you are cordially invited to my home district.
The lake itself is nearly 0.80 kilometre, but the total area is approximately 5 to 10 kilometres. Madhabpur Lake has beautiful birds eye view and crystal clean water. Madhabpur Lake is surrounded by small hills all around. It is one of the most popular tourist spot in Bangladesh.
Your are cordially invited to visit my city and Madhabpur Lake as well. I am sure of that, beauty my locality won’t disappoint you.
Thanks for the detailed answer and invitation, @ShahnewazAhmed . I’d love to visit someday. I always admire when a water basin keeps its pure clean water.
Very interesting. I like when people showcase their home town favorites. So many choices and flavors. I’m thankful we can enjoy good food and not get our nutrition from a pill or something boring like that. I live for all the great flavors to be discovered.
