Hi, I‘m Weaver Liu. A Taiwanese graphic designer.

I’m not good at cooking, so I often eat out and spaghetti is my favorite.
As a fast-food junkie, we always encountered several terrible things like…

  1. The service provided by the staff is very poor.
  2. The restaurant charges high and unexpected.
  3. tired of the restaurant near my home.

But if you started to use this program, those problems I mentioned will be nothing!

Let me tell you more.

I often upset about the restaurant‘s food is not as expected. I think it ruined my day. It’s really annoying that the information is not transparent, which makes me want to solve this problem all the time. But it became better after I noticed negative comments written by others, I can avoid those not recommended restaurants easily. That was also my proposal at first. So I joined the Local guides, hoping I can safe everyone’s day to not be destroyed.


To me, the Local Guides program is an information network that weaved together by people all around the world. It records people’s real thoughts and easily reviews in order to inform others. So If you get tired of the restaurant nearby you, try to discover your location through google maps! It will always surprise you I promised.?

There are so many cuisines in Taiwan, we can easily encounter exotic restaurants in any corner of the street.
Every time I open google local guides program and read the comment, It seems like I have so many friends through this program which likes a common notebook that everyone can leave a message on it. I believe making connections is one of the purposes of this program and It does work.

It is also a way for us to discover the world in a better way. People who come from our city discover the area so that we can follow their path, and avoid unsatisfactory experiences. Everyone can be each other’s senpai, so I think everyone should start sharing their experiences online. Be a Local Guide, and guide people to discover the unknown!

Now, I became more confident when making choices because of the Local Guides Program. My friends would even curious about why I know so many details of restaurants in the area. Thanks to those who have contributed to the map before. I am aspired by them and determined to be a contributor by writing comments and posting pictures on Google maps so that people will not be bothered by the lack of information circulation.?

Google Maps has made me better connected to the world. I truly believe that the power of Local Guides can make the world better ? and I will continue to complete my list to become a spaghetti restaurant’s expert in Taipei.
