I like to travel new places and try new foods. Travelling new places give me a chance to learn about the places, peoples and their lifestyles. It’s not uncommon that every place has it’s own popular dishes. I like to try them. Most of the time i love it but sometimes it’s OK.
I am from Nepal. I live in Kathmandu city. The most popular fast food of this city is ‘MOMO’. Everybody likes to have momo here, like it’s a everyday meal. But for all the Nepalese it’s not the case everywhere. Lentil and rice is the overall favorite. In Nepali we call it ‘Daal & Bhat’. It’s the daily food of all Nepalese.
Last year i went to Goa, India with my friends. It was a 15 day trip. For all of us, it was the first time we ever been there. We love to hangout on the beaches, drink lots of beer and travel around on rented scooters. Since we were new to that place, we always navigate through GOOGLE MAPS. And it always works perfectly.
After several days in Goa, we were tired of having the local food. We all want to have daal & bhat. So we search for the same on google maps. We watch photos posted(attractive photos only, posted by the owner himself) on the maps and went there. Sorry to say but it was the worst experience ever. The food was not good and we left it. We remain hungry whole day. ’ :(’
The things is, there was no proper reviews and original photos of that restaurant. The genuine reviews and the original photos posted by real customer helps a lot to choose between the places. It is important thing to have nowadays. It also helps, to make the owner, to maintain quality of the services.
That’s why i always prefer local reviews and photos before going somewhere. It helps me a lot. I also post photos and reviews whenever i go to new places. I think i am also helping peoples to get better content.
I am proud to be a local guide.
Thank you google maps. You are doing great.
