[StephenAbraham]

 Just continuing with the previous post.. << I could only mention 10 persons per post >>, just appending.. 

Hi everyone! It's so nice to get to know all of you and thanks for the nice introductions. I will try my best to remember everyones' names when I get there. It's my first time joining a Google event, and that too in Google HQ, I am sure it would be amazing, and even more amazing to meet yourselves, the folks who are running the LG program and all the wonderful participants joining from all around the globe. Hope to meet all of you soon! It will be simply amazing..

Fun Fact: I can't stop eating and looking for new food to try. From deep fried grasshoppers in Thailand (delicious), to super spicy Sichuan hotpot in South China, to crispy roast duck in Hong Kong, to Balut in the Philippines, to the amazing Durians in Malaysia, and to the wonderful toddy shops in South India and so much more.. so much to experience.. One day, we must get some Googlers to come visit Malaysia and we can go out for some food party marathon.

@Albry - The scariest thing I have done.. hmmm.. eating a Ghost Pepper.. OMG the burn for the next 1 day.. No more Ghost Pepper for me!

@CAlex - Wow.. amazing dive photos! Really amazing!

@HelloJess - Weight lifting?? Wow..

@ChristopheQ - We don't have snow where I come from (Malaysia), wish there could be some though.. I love my shaved ice popsicles.. in a way, I eat snow too! 🙂

@ChristinaCollada - Some day I will learn to play a musical instrument too... And at the moment, I can only squawk like a crow.. 😞

@ChrisDe - I'm planning to start my VLOG on food also!

@RioAkasaka - Travelling light is a real skill.. I can be your padawan..

@masterleo - That sword must be really really heavy!!

I starting working on Local Guides in Aug 2015 (helping with the switch from City Experts) then worked on our map-based contribution tools for Check the Facts and Uncover Missing Info. I'm really looking forward to talking to users, finding out how they use the tools and how we can make them better.
