Hi All,

My Name is Abdul Fasi, Iam from Southern Part of India (Hyderabad, Telangana), currently residing in Al-Khobar, KSA from past 8 years. I work in a Technology Transfer Office of a public university.  Initially, I started the journey of reviewing the places on google maps halfheartedly, but now i become obsessed with this platform. I love playing and watching sports and Iam a die hard fan of Real Madrid CF . In my opinion, being a local guide provides an opportunity and freedom to an individual to freely express his/her opinion on places which he visit, which will eventually benefit society at large.

1. I have been to Beijing, China to attend a specialized course focusing on how Intellectual Property can be used as an asset for flourishing business. Before visiting Beijing, I had very less expectation with city but i was amazed when I saw both the modern and traditional architecture of the city. The city is very rich in history and have a very strong influence on global technology. 

2. Geneva is also very close to my heart. I was fortunate to visit this city to attend summer school program organized by WIPO. This city is considered as a global finance center and it host some important offices such as United Nations, Red Cross etc. The city is very expensive but the transportation within the city is is just awesome.   

Fun Fact about me: I just love reading news articles on Football and Tennis and has a strong attachment towards playing squash.

Hi, 

I am Hans Kruse, Software Engineer, Foody and confident that I can cook a bit myself.

I thank my fellow local guides, for providing me with good reviews for picking restaurants

in places I am less familiar with. I hope my reviews are useful too.

Hans Kruse

 I am married, have a dog, and commute to work by a very fast yellow folding bicycle and train. 

Akyra our black Malinois

Living in the medieval town of Deventer the Netherlands since 2008 and still considering myself a tourist in my home town. I love eating out in Deventer and other places but also love to cook myself with local ingredients, sometimes from my own garden. I recently started gardening again and now growing Shanghai Paksoi amongst other vegetables, fruits and herbs.

One of my recipes can be found in a local cook book "Het Worp's kookboek" (Dutch only).

I speak, read and write Dutch(Native), English and to a lesser extend German. I know a little bit French and modern Greek. I know bits and pieces of Spanish, Turkish and a few other languages.

You should visit Deventer, Deventer is awesome 😉

• Deventer is known for the largest Dicken's festival (Dickens festijn)in the world according to BBC. Usually the weekend before Christmas.
• In the summer in June or July there is a large street theatre festival Deventer on Stilts(Deventer op Stelten) worth visiting. See also on Youtube for impressions.
• On the first Sunday of August the streets and squares of Deventer change into one of Europe's largest open air bookmarkets (Deventer boekenmarkt).

My favorite holiday country is Greece,  especially the Peleponessos area.

I like to read books too! Hooked on reading e-books since the Palm-III PDA except for cooking books and ancient Jules Verne books. I like audio books or letting my phone read a book to me using a good Text To Speech Engine (TTS). There are several for Android. A blind guy once said I can iron shirts and read at the same time. I cannot.

I work on server side software engineering for onboarding(banks) and verification of passports using mobile phones.

Fluent in C# and Java. Did/doing things in other languages too. I am interested in Functional Programming and data mining. Sad a day has only 24 hours. There is so much cool stuff!! Since august 2017 I travel to London (By boat via Harwich) every 3 weeks for a day and back. So after a day of work I have about two ours to discover beautiful London too.

For those interested I blog on software engineering  at http://trackhacks.hanskruse.eu/ and really should relaunch my cooking blog when I find some time for that. Track Hacks is about the rediscovery of Java by a .NET Developer who went back to 'The Duke Side of the Force'. In this blog post I write about Java, Java EE and more from the viewpoint of a .NET Developer.These blog posts are written during a daily 45 minute commute by train hence the name Track Hacks. I tweet and complain via twitter at @hanskruse . My github repo with dangerous experiments is at:https://github.com/nicenemo Currently thinking about creating FP style pattern matching in Java.

My reviews and blog posts are my own and not the offical view of past, present and possible future employers.
