Surprisingly, I’m learning more things that I’d anticipated from this post! Some of it are new words and some of it are quite cultural!
I didn’t know that breakfast is called colazione in Italian! @LuigiZ is your high review counts somehow related to your work travels?!
Bakso is the Indonesian equivalent to meat balls. And for the two Indonesian comments by @Marianis and @Wisnusetiono , they both share common topics such as satay (sate), egg (telur), tofu (tahu), sambal and fried rice (nasi goreng).
I’m still a bit puzzled with the topic “terras” as shown by @KristofVaneeck . The icon is a coffee cup but the translation means “terrace”? Oh and I didn’t realise fries were popular in Belgium!
The cafe culture of coffee/tea and cakes/desserts is globally represented by folks literally all over the world: @KishorMali , @JaneBurunina , @PennyChristie
@NexusKC has made me realised that of all the western food that I missed the most, it’s a proper BBQ!!
And @PaulPavlinovich 's blurb: “Mine says I like fast food and beer but then I feel guilty and walk in a park.” gave me the crazy giggles!
Well being said @AdrianLunsong , those filters are really showing something new to learn based on our common habits reflected in our contributions, it is so fun and nice to see the different combination of each other .
Yes breakfast is colazione in Italian and I was surprised too to have that filter but I quickly connected it to my business trips indeed with all the reviews on the hotels where I stay, I tend to make always a full review of the overall experience … inclusive of course of the breakfast service .
One thing is missing here or maybe it’s indeed some other category; what category does hotels and guest house belong? I frequent hotels and guest houses too in my travels as well as supermarkets as you pointed out but they are not indicated.
It was really nice to me when I saw such tags indeed represent the personality of each user and I want to discuss but seems others also found this so fun.
Here are tags on my profile and it shows again that I’m so eager to parks and nature, artistic and cultural locations like libraries, shopping, and like many other users drinks for sure I also love science locations but those are fewer than others and not listed as a separate tag.
@MaximinoSantos You’re a secret hiker and you don’t even know it! Wow… I didn’t know you had your phone language set to Japanese! Is Japanese your primary language then?
@SholaIB I’m not sure if anybody here knows the inner workings of the topics and how they are generated for each individual! If you mentioned ‘hotel’ a lot in your reviews, you would think that it will show up as a profile topic!
@LaloPadilla Wow… amusement parks and sport shoes! I had to translate “gaseosa”! Learned something new again!
@Amiran Yes, you said it so eloquently: they reflect the personality of the users. And your collection of topics is probably the most cultured one that I’ve seen!! Well done!!
I am a privileged man; I was born with a Japanese soul in Brazilian territory. Japanese is my second language and culture. This has influenced my whole life, so I use Japanese in all gadgets.
Learning the localisations of Maps is very interesting I agree @AdrianLunsong quite amazing the different names for things. Mine touched off the age old Aussie debate of Potato Cake vs Potato Scallop with a good made from Sydney @PennyChristie - friendly debates between Melbournites and Sydneyites have gone on ever since colonial days. One of the local conspiracy theories is that Sydney infected Melbourne with Covid-19 so that our night life would be like theirs always is
the tags are more related to what you are actually writing than the “types” of POI’s you are contributing to as @AdrianLunsong mentioned.
The fact that you review many hotels (like me), doesn’t necessary bring the tag “hotel” as it depends what you are reviewing about the hotel … look at my example of the breakfast , it isn’t a name of a category of POI but it means I mention often the breakfast, which is true because in every hotel review I do I normally mention also how it was the breakfast service.
That’s a great explanation. Thanks for explaining that to me. I feel very undone talking about reviews. I read @AdrianLunsong article in review so maybe that will help me. This is a very interesting feature really .
@MaximinoSantos That’s fantastic! I love Japanese culture (especially their anime/manga and food ). One of these days, when I have enough willpower, I’ll get myself to learning Japanese! Currently, I just have too many distractions!
@PaulPavlinovich@PennyChristie So… I had to Google some info on Australia (I’m very ignorant about world stuff) and Canberra is the capital but in terms of population size the order is Sydney (5.230m), Melbourne (4.936m), Brisbane (2.463m), Perth (2.059m), Adelaide (1.346m), Gold Coast (679k), Newcastle (487k) and finally Canberra (458k) (I’ve excluded the other remaining cities post Canberra). But Melbourne has the better night life!! I’m surprised by that as I’ve always assumed that Sydney is the better party place. By the way, this just shows that the Sydney Opera House is an amazing marketing tool because I just assumed that Sydney is the place to go to, and is the capital of Australia, and is the centre of the universe. Clearly, I’m mistaken.
@TusharSuradkar Just shows that you need to mention food a lot more in your reviews! So cute to see the elephant… and love the thali icon too! Interesting to see the fortification icon. I guess in Asia, it’s mainly forts that been built in the past where as it’s castles in other parts of the world.
@KarenVChin I love how 80% of your topics could be summed up as a visit to a café and they could either be stand alone shops or in a shopping mall. And it wouldn’t be you without any mention of wine! I think @ErmesT would be surprised if not disappointed if it wasn’t there!
Oh and I didn’t realise fries were popular in Belgium!
