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, the East Village, Italian food, and more.
@MashaPS: Every day, I see so many amazing posts on Connect that I always find it hard to choose which one to highlight. For this week’s Friday Favorites, I picked @ChanneLing’s post “City Street Art: East Village of New York City.” In it, @ChanneLing shares her impressions of New York and especially the East Village, a neighborhood full of eclectic shops, boutiques, independent cafés, restaurants, and unique street art. Check out her incredible post to learn more about the places she came across and enjoy her great photos of colorful murals, shop windows, and various artistic creations.
@DeniGu: Are you hungry? If your answer is yes, you better have something before heading over to Connect Moderator @ermest’s post “Eat Italy - the Italian way of food - #TeamItaly!” Get ready for an intriguing and detailed description of how courses and drinks are served according to Italian tradition, which meal comes after which, and what kind of food you can expect for your appetizer, first and main course, and of course—dessert. @ermest has included amazing photo collages with informative captions of different mouth-watering dishes that showcase the great diversity of Italian cuisine. I really enjoyed the useful tips and curious facts he shared, too. Last but not least, @ermest’s post is your reference for all the upcoming posts about food and dining etiquette from #TeamItaly, so don’t miss it!
@MortenSI: When I read “[ Recap] LGC Anniversary Celebrations -Let’s Clean The Turtle Beach Meetup Karachi” by @KashifMisidia I was filled with a sense of happiness! The Local Guides in Pakistan felt inspired by fellow Local Guides around the world and decided to organise a meet-up and clean Turtle Beach Hawk’s Bay. The beach is very important to the local population of turtles, as this is where they go to lay their eggs. Fighting pollution and public littering is a cause I really care about, so seeing this group of dedicated Local Guides take matters into their own hands, really moved me. If you want to feel inspired like I did, I highly suggest having a look at this post.
@RadieN: This week, I was pleasantly surprised to see the second part of @Wintermadness’s story about her wonderful 3-week trip to Indonesia in her post “4 days on the ocean from Gili Trawangan to Flores Indonesia.” In Part 1, she told us about what she saw and did at two of the most popular Indonesian destinations, Jakarta and Bali. This time, @Wintermadness talks about exploring the Gili Islands and taking a very enjoyable 4-day boat trip from Lombok to Flores. She goes island hopping and takes fantastic photos of all the places along the way! The most exciting part of her tour was visiting the Komodo National Park where she saw the famous Komodo dragon—the biggest lizard in the world. Check out the post and keep in mind that Part 3 is coming soon!

Well last but not least congratulations also to @ErmesT with the great job of #teamItaly on the Eat Italy series, I know I feel proud of that being part of the team so allow me that … and don’t forget to have a look at the very last post of the series: Eat Italy - do you Pizza?.
Thank you so much @MortenSI and @DeniGu for liking and selecting my post for Friday Favourites, along with my dear friend @ErmesT , and @ChanneLing@Wintermadness 's posts, that’s really honour for me.
The initiative was taken because specifically this beach Halksbay Beach is the place where Turtles comes for laying eggs, and this place is literally polluted badly, and still there is same situation, but we are trying to raise our voices by social media and Letters to officials. And I hope we will get success.
Big Thanks to Sir @ErmesT Toun and Local Guides Program, which gave us eyes to see, what is right and what is wrong.
