Friday Favorites: Sri Lankan food, natural landscapes, and more

Every Friday, Google Moderators highlight the best posts they found during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, Sri Lankan food, natural landscapes, and more.

@InaS : Have you ever tried Sri Lankan food? During his visit to the Sri Lankan Food Festival at theBaluchi Restaurant in Bangalore, India, Local Guide @RajdeepB had the opportunity to try many traditional dishes. In his post “Sri Lankan Food Festival at Baluchi, The Lalit Ashok Bangalore,” he explains why Sri Lankan food is a must-try. He says that the strong flavors of the dishes, which combine sour pickles, spicy curry, and more, can awaken all your senses. If you are a foodie like me, I’m sure you will enjoy reading his post.

@BorrisS : To me, there is nothing more beautiful than nature, and @KarolT 's post “Share your favorite places in different seasons” is proof of this! In it, Karol shares some breathtaking photos of landscapes in Eastern Slovakia, taken during different periods of the year. What’s more, he provides a Google Maps link to the location of every photo, helping us get an idea of where each place is situated. If you are someone who enjoys the beauty and peacefulness of nature, this post is definitely for you.

@JavieraAu : I’m a travel lover, but, unfortunately, I don’t always have the time to travel abroad for an extended period. Precisely in these moments, I rediscover the charm of short trips. They make me feel happy and help me escape the daily routine. I had this feeling again while reading the second part of @ReemaGandhi 's adventures in Michigan, USA, called “When we outlined Lake Michigan - Part II.” In it, Reema continued her story about the road trip she took to Lake Michigan and the attractions she stopped by. If you want to learn more about what you can see and do at the Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids and the South Haven Light in South Haven, don’t miss her post.

@MortenSI : Whenever I visit a new city, I want to see the local market. It’s a unique experience every time and that’s why the post “[RECAP] Komarovsky Market Photowalk, Minsk, Belarus” by Local Guide @OlgaKlimchik grabbed my attention this week. Olga and her fellow Belarusian Local Guides did a photowalk at the Komarovsky Market in Minsk. Their photos guide you through this glorious market with all its local and international delicacies. Mix that up with an interesting story about how the market originated, along with some handy tips, and you’ve got a post I wouldn’t miss out on. If you love food markets or just want to see how this great photowalk went, go and take a look at this post.
