How to stop redirecting to a local version of Google.com

This is what happens when you tried to open Google in Indonesia.
Let say you're going vacation to a foreign countries such as India, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Germany, Netherlands etc. While you're staying on that countries, you decided to go to the Internet Cafe to check your Google Mail by typing on google.com on the web address of your prefered web browsers. When you typed Google.com on the web address you ended up redirected to local version of Google. And you can't understand the non English version of Google. You're frustrated, mad and confused. "I type in Google.com and I ended up redirected to foreign version of Google?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS FUCKING COUNTRY!! AND HOW THE HELL CAN I OPEN GOOGLE.COM WITHOUT REDIRECTED TO THIS NON ENGLISH VERSION?!"


How to Fix This?
Type google.com/ncr on the web address and press enter.

Open you prefered web browser (I used Chrome mostly) and on the web address type in google.com/ncr and press enter. NCR stands for No Countries Redirected.

This is what you get after you type in google.com/ncr
Voila! you have open the non local version of Google.com and the problem is solved. This post is very helpful for people who lived in the outside of US and for the Americans who traveled to foreign countries.

Thanks you for reading this post and I hope this post help you when you traveled to a foreign countries.


TIPS & TRICKS
  1. After you open "google.com/ncr" don't forget to bookmark it. That way after you deleted the cookies of that website you can open google.com/ncr on the bookmark bar of your prefered web browsers instead of typing it on the web addres.
  2. For those of you who lived in US, you don't need to be worry. Because if you tried to open "google.com" in US, you will always redirected to English (American English) version of "google.com."
