Amazing Local Guides World! The recap of #monthlytopic 2021🎊

[HiroyukiTakisawa]

Hello, I'm Hiro, the proposer of #monthlytopic challenge. Do you know #monthlytopic? #monthlytopic is a very simple challenge where I simply suggest a topic of that month and people post about it. This challenge was started for making a little clue for newbies to begin posting. But eventually many local guides regardless of newbies or not joined this challenge and were able to enjoy reading each post.

I've been suggesting topics every month from June 2019, and many many Local Guides have joined #monthlytopic. Their posts are interesting, beautiful, impressive, and sometimes touching. I believe they have definitely motivated Connect and our connection. Thank you to all the participants. All of you guys are amazing attainers!

Today, I will present some awards and records about our #monthlytopic in 2021. I hope you will enjoy reading this post🎊

🏆 The most memorable photo in 2021 🏆

“A Beverage with two sides (Palm wine)” by @Austinelewex 

In fact, when I narrow downed memorable photos to only two candidates, both were Austin’s photos. Austin’s photos always seem to be attractive to me💘 By the way, I'm looking for a good palm wine in Japan now but I know I will not be able to drink it with such a nice cup. I must go✈️

🏆 My favorite story in 2021 🏆

“Sobre el Café, Baristas y Arte....#Monthlytopic of October-Coffee” by @Nosaint2_Rafael_Fe 

It is well known that I love coffee, but I didn't know much about coffee in Puerto Rico. That was a really interesting and informative story for me. Thank you for sharing this☕

🏆 The tastiest photo in 2021 🏆

"monthlytopic 意外と町田市ではオリジナルアイスクリームを見つけることができます by @Izumi 

One of the most popular topics in Connect is food. Therefore, many many delicious foods articles and photos were posted to #monthlytopic too. So selecting only one photo was a huge task for me. 

This ice cream looks simple but should be tasty because this ice cream contains Wasanbon (is a fine grained Japanese sugar that is made from sugarcane in Shikoku region.). That mild sweetness is my favorite! And the pudding under the ice cream also looks yummy!!

いつもネタ、そして取りまとめありがとうございます。

よく数えましたね、本当にすごい！！

@Izumi さんの写真はたしかに美味しそうでした。

[Izumi]

「最も美味しそうな写真」に私の写真を選んでくれてありがとうございます @HiroyukiTakisawa さん。🙏

本当においしいアイスクリームを紹介できて、私はとてもうれしいです。幸いにもお気に入りのお店がソフトクリームを作り始めたタイミングだった事と、カメラ機能が良いスマホに買い替えたのが功を奏したと言えます。😉

@yamamo_cchi さん

@Sophia_Cambodia 　@Austinelewex 　@Nosaint2_Rafael_Fe と、LGの皆さんにとって2022年が良い年になるように、私は祈ります。🙏

To my greatest surprise, I am impressed by such an amazing post @HiroyukiTakisawa 

Thank you so much Hiro for choosing my post as the most memorable photo of 2021 in Monthly topic. I am so pleased and grateful. 

I know this year, I haven't participated much on connect generally and in Monthly topic which I am so much interested in. I hope and pray that next year will be better. This year I have been heavily involved on construction projects and my Post Graduate degree program. However, I am done and I am a little bit freer now.

Merry Christmas @HiroyukiTakisawa , Merry Christmas @Izumi , Merry Christmas @OlgaKlimchik and Prosperous New year to you all and the entire Connect Family.

Best regards. 🎊🎉🌲🍾🥳🥳
