Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map.

Things to know before your Sydney, Australia trip:


Before I travel somewhere new I would like to find out more about the country in order to adapt myself and know what food is known there while I am in their area and what food I can bring back home with me.

Australia is known for kangaroo and koala more into nature, beach and urban places.

The people are called, Aussie.

The common food eaten in Australia is vegemite. I tried that didn’t like the taste of it. Not my kind of spread you put on your bread.


TimTam (chocolate biscuit) – My son told me he has a friend from Australia.  Use tim tam use as a straw and suck the drink through the biscuit to add flavor on their coffee or hot chocolate.
Eating alone is already sweet for me.


Meat Pies – Stuffed minced meat, gravy, mushroom, onion and cheese. You can purchase it in the bakery and supermarket. It can also be store in the freezer and warm later when you would like to eat it.

Fish and Chips – They give you a big serving of fries on one order is enough for everyone. Don’t be mistaken fries for those means chips and the ketchup are extra charge.

I remember when I had visited in Melbourne two years ago my Uncle wanted more ketchup they had charge me for it came in a small ketchup bottle.

You can try kangaroo meat never wanted to try something exotic.

Snacks my family loves the most is Arnots Shapes Baked Not Fried crackers comes in flavor pizza, cheese and bacon, honey barbecue and barbecue.


The chips I always look into which they don’t have in the Philippines is Kettle Chips Barbecue flavor.

My niece they love using Lucas Papaw Ointment and I started using it too great for your lips.



Of course, what we see when you are there you end up buying what is not on your list.
