i live in a small town on long island... the 1st thing i tell visitors here is go see jones beach. summer or winter it is the most amazing place. well over 8 miles long with white sand that in some places is 1/4 mile wide. there are great sand dunes and bird sanctuaries, a long wooden board walk and swarms of giant sea gulls that come right over to you to feed in the late afternoons. there's a long stone jetty where fishermen cast their lines and art deco buildings built in the 30's-40's. the swimming is great in the summer but i prefer the surrealistic solitude of the winter. this large state park continues till it connects w/ robert moses/ fire island beach which has a large light house you can visit and beaches that go on for virtually 50 more miles.. its quite a place that as a youth i took for granted until a californian "beach boy" friend came to visit and was thoroughly impressed.. which made me realize what a special thing we had here on long island .. come visit anytime.

If you're a Vietnamese girl, I loved my 3 years of lving in Vietnam, except for the noise of loud speakers and the beep-beep of bike horns. I lived in Nha Trang and built the Ana Mandara resort there, but Saigon was a wonderful place, full of fantastic restaurants and great bars. I miss it, but not the noise, plus Vietnam has the sexiest schoolgirls in the world, untouchable, but so beautiful in their white ao dai on their bicycles.

About what are the good side of the city, our food specialty, famous people which came from that city, traditions and more interesting facts about my city so he will consider visiting my city one more time!
But he must also know things that are prohibited/restricted in my city.

Usually when I host my friends from overseas in Vietnam, I tell them of two things: Food and Places to visit

Depending on where you are, the places to eat should include at least one of the following:
In HCM
1) Bo Tung Xeo - Ly Tu Truong
2) Pho 24
4) Pho Hoa - Pasteur Road
5) Kem Bach Dang - Le Loi
In Hanoi
1) Bo Bit Tet - Hoa Ma
2) Cha ca la Vuong - Cha Ca st
3) Bun Cha
4) Oc Huong
5) Bun Bo Nam Bo

As for places to visit, I usually tell them about
1) Mui Ne
2) Vung Tou
3) Halong
4) Sapa
5) Nha Trang

How to have a nice time while here - the places to go, visit and have fun.

The place itself (weather, where to go, what to eat, ...), the people (custom, expectation, ...), the culture (what to expect, what to do and not do), the language (how to best communicate with the local people), ...

For example, since this question is in the "Vietnam" category, and if I'm living in Vietnam, I'll tell my guests about the two seasons in Vietnam, when it might rain and what to expect when it rains, about the hot/humid weather, about the hospitality of the people (yes they are very friendly to foreigners), about what to do with such things as greeting, bowing, tipping, about the different places to visit (beach, temple, pagoda, bay, rural, river), and last but not least important about the delicious food (of the different areas, e.g. north, middle, south.) Vietnamese people do socialize and socialize a lot. It is not unusual to see Vietnamese folks having drinks during working weekdays, usually with beers/wine.

Enjoy wherever you are planning to go!
