The most interesting thing I had done as a Local Guide, is an “evolution” to me.
Greetings, I am Eng Hock, Local Guide from Malaysia, currently working in Singapore.
I am a person with a poor sense of direction, I just used Google Map for certain route directions to reach the destination.
After I start my IT career in foreign, Singapore, I also became a Local Guide.
Alone in an unfamiliar environment, information and reviews contributed by Local Guides have really saved my life.
They helps me sort out the efficient routes from the rental room to the company via bus and subway, even revolutionized my body shape and social life!
Once I got used to living in Singapore, image and confidence is become my target. Hence I start searching for various gyms via referring Local Guide on the map with comments and suggestions, I eventually maintained and raised my weight from 44kgs to 60kgs within 1 year!
As a matter of course, I gained self-confidence and improved my social skills; hence make a lot of netizens living abroad through social media.
We met and took adventure which relied on information provided by Local Guides, to set foot in many places with netizens, Such as biking on Singapore Ubin Island, Indonesia Bintan Island day trip (water park, ATV), TreeTop Walk (breathtaking hiking trails), Haji lane (bar street), etc!
It must be said that Google Map has been rendered into my life, perfecting my spirit and positive energy; I will constantly contribute various information to Google Map as always.
The most sincere thanks to Google Map and Local Guides Family, appreciate.
