Every Friday, Google Moderators highlight the best posts they found to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. These are posts detailing past experiences that we hope will serve as entertainment and inspiration for your future bucket list. This week, statues in Oslo, a farm in Nigeria, and more.
@Giu_DiB : Connect is always a source of wonder for me, as I constantly discover new places, delicious recipes, or beautiful traditions from countries on the other side of the world. This week, I was amazed by @OlavHelland âs curious photographic quest, âChasing Hermes.â Olav shares stunning pictures of statues of the Greek god Hermes, also known as Mercury in Roman mythology, which he has found around his hometown Oslo. Whether you are into European culture and want to learn more about this deity, or you love photography and want to see some great photos of Norwegian monuments and statues, you will enjoy this post.
@MashaPS : I love to read travel stories by Local Guides where I get to experience destinations through their eyes and memories. The post that transported me across the world this week is @TusharSuradkar âs âNavy Pier in Chicago - Where Fun Lives Large.â In it, he first takes us on a walk outside the building of the Navy Pier, where we can enjoy a moment of serenity watching the boats go by or the lights come up on the mesmerizing Chicago cityscape. There are also plenty of things to see and do inside, such as shopping, having a meal, and more. I found it impressive that there is even a museum and a botanical garden, which are open to the public free of charge! Tushar also makes a point to list the accessibility features of the place. If Chicago is on your bucket list, make sure to check out this post for some more recommendations.
@LilyanaZ : When visiting another country, some people like to try unique delicacies from the local cuisine. As always, @Sophia_Cambodia is here to give us some helpful recommendations, this time about food. In her post, âSome special food around Cambodia,â she introduces not only commonly found dishes in Cambodia but also some not so well-known and region-specific specialties to add to your foodieâs list. Check out her mouth-watering pictures, and you might find something you want to try in Cambodia one day.
@DeniGu : If you live in a bustling city, sometimes all you need is a little peaceful getaway. @Zino takes us on one such getaway in her post â#monthlytopic of October 2020 - A Quiet Place in Kuje, Nigeria.â Her vivid photos of green fields and mountains, traditional huts, and adorable animals perfectly illustrate the calmness of the Almat Farms in Kuje, Nigeria. Whether you prefer an active or a relaxing holiday, this place has something for everyone with its variety of activities and facilities. Itâs also ideal for kids, just like the kids-friendly locations in the nearby capital of Abuja, which @Zino has curated into a helpful Google Mapslist. So, if you need a moment of tranquility, head to her post, or check the other #monthlytopic posts for October 2020.

and congratulations to my friend too, 
, being featured often I have been so overwhelmed and at the meantime also needs to be careful with my post. I try to improve my photography skills and also take whatever chances to take photos of everything. To be honest, whatever I see, inspired me to write that.
