3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: Being a local guide is genius starting from its core idea. You can help others and have fun doing it. Moreover, it's a mean of expression. I love to post photos because I took great care of how they look and feel, so others can enjoy them and know more about a place they want to visit.
4. How it all started? I've found about the Google Local Guide about two years ago and embraced the idea from the start. Some might say I'm a Google fan (which could be true because I took all the photos with my amazing Google Nexus 6P), others might say that I dare to help others. I will just say that I'm passionate and eager to discover.
5. Fun Fact About Me: I am actually a young independent filmmaker that also love to take photos. Being a Local Guide made me take even more photos and gave me the opportunity to express myself. Not to mention the happiness of almost reaching 500K views on my photo contributions!

1. Name: Jay
2. Location: Staten Island, NYC, NY — though I’m originally from Guangzhou, China
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: Knowing that my edits & pictures help make someone's visit to a city (or their vacation) a better experience.
4. My favorite cuisine to explore: I really love this specific shop in Flushing, Queens, NYC that serves Hand-Pulled Noodles. Every so often I get a craving for them and trek all the way to Queens for some, sometimes by myself, sometimes I drag friends along. We end up exploring other Chinese food options in the area.
5. Fun Fact about me: My birthday is 8/8 which the Chinese consider to be a very lucky day (the number 8 is the lucky number).

I think that's what we all think now that the floodgates are open. Everyone has something to offer to this thread. It's like waving at each across an ocean through a giant set of binoculars. We have to just carry on waving and someone will respond. Like the magical time  you get your first like for a review or a badge, even the updates on how many times your photis have been viewed can be thrilling even intriguing. My biggest ' hits ' have been on Victorias Secrets  front window in White City Westfield in London, my local mall. Also a giant Nike trainer in Foot Locker seemed to fascinate everyone. My son's origami gets around too.

Follow the origami trail across London and you'll know he's just passed through.

Good luck everyone in the hunt for one of the150 golden tickets to California.
