Hi @HeyJoe

I linked ep. 8 an 9 ( Index page 2) even if I have to correct the index of ep. 8, driving in a wrong position of the post.

We had a problem of notification in Connect, so maybe i missed something. Can you re-tag me?

Oh, I see now. @HeyJoe

In fact we have 12 episodes:

From 0 to 9 (10 episodes) plus ep. 10, that is double (Karen and me)

So if you have a new one you can call it ep. 11

Funny, you should mentioned Marrakech Restaurant @SoniaK ! I had my bachelorette party their years ago, way before Local Guides was an idea.

They are famous for handling groups. Fun with belly dancers! @MahabubMunna will be eating and dancing the night away!

Cheers,

Karen

Yes @KarenVChin . Thatā€™s the restaurant I meant. I typed it from my mobile, so could not tag the restaurant name. @MahabubMunna wanted to have our farewell dinner there. But apparently we just missed it, not sure why though.

Thanks @TraciC . Glad you enjoyed my post. And for having this post be on the front page of Connect today.

This post (among other LGSummit17 related stories I still want to write about) has been in the back burner of my ā€œThings to Doā€ for months. Life got in the way!

I wanted to write about the ā€œhiddenā€ benefits or perks of being a Local Guide that you canā€™t quantify or get from Google directly, but what you make of it and how wonderful things ā€œjust happened by random chanceā€ like meeting both @ErmesT @YK1001 in person and hopefully @FaridTDF someday soon. Itā€™s amazing how much Google Translate we use and have learned so much about each other, our cultures, and for me, my own culture, through their eyes via conversations.

Cheers,

Karen

Hi @KarenVChin ,

Interactions among LGs will bring our LG experience to another dimension.

That is why Connect is such a wonderful place, to allow LGs anywhere to interact with each other.

And the ability to meet in person will be a catalyst for even long time online relationships.

I am really glad being able to meet you, @ErmesT and @IlankovanT in person. It bring magics among us.

Glad you enjoyed this post @Haseeb ! That was @ErmesT and my intent to show our first encounter aka meet-up via our photos we posted here and #ongooglemaps

We learned a lot about each other and became truly friends through our first 4 hours here together while we were here for #LGSummit17. What cemented our friendship is our love for food! Ermes ate chicken feet during our dim sum lunch without any hesitation. That sealed our friendship for me!

ā€œNever say neverā€ is my motto as a Local Guide. You never know what great things that can happen if are willing to be open. You never know who you will meet and click with. I call this the ā€œhidden benefitā€ about being a Local Guide. If you havenā€™t experienced it already, I hope you are as lucky to meet other Local Guides here on Connect or in your community in real life in 2018.

Cheers,

Karen
