★★★★★9 years agoWas invited to Google's Middle East Headquarters in Dubai Internet City for a Google Local Guides event that included tips and tricks on how to improve contributions on Google Maps followed by an interesting Q&A session. And also an exciting office tour. There was free flowing food and soft drinks around and the entire vibe was crazy. Would love to come back as a host! --A drop of ink may make a million think. @AyaashPaw
