About This Blog

The internet has merged the whole world into a large global village.

Google Street View has gone one step further; it has made it possible to roam the alleys and streets of this global village (or atleast some areas of it).

Presently the Street Views are available for few countries, however the list of areas/countries covered is increasing and in not too distant future Google Street View is likely to cover the major populated areas of the World. (Current Coverage Map)

Google Street View provides a panoramic 360 degree view which allows every one to see the surroundings as if one is physically present at the spot.

Through this blog I am sharing the interesting, strange things/places seen by me while Roaming the Google Streets.
