Namste, Meet Subhash from India
Google is calling me a local guide now, but I, since beginning use to think that actually I am helping myself by contributing about where to eat, shop, stay etc. When there were no Local Guides around we had no clue about the shops/hotels/places whether to trust them or not, now we precisely know whether or not I should step in to a restaurant as I am very choosy about the food. Now guides help me big time and I too make sure that I contribute to the community by writing honest observations about a place. Google maps has changed the way we travel/eat and resulting in people being honest and ethical as far as their businesses are concerned.
Thanks guys around the world for helping each other without knowing each other. Keep it up.
