I would like to show my newest friend some chill spots around my area the next time he visits provided I can spare some time
I would like to show my boyfriend a nice place here in Lisbon, its called Praça de comércio. and i will invite him to eat pastel de nata, it is the best sweet i have ever eaten in Portugal.
My town is small. We do not have great places to see here. I will show you the river coast, we have a nice park around it. But be careful, I suggest people visit it during the day or at night if it is crowd because it can be dangerous if you are by yourself because there is a poor neighborhood near it and people who live there usually take your stuff away. a River where you have trees and you can swim better than in the sea.
I had showed the churchs around.
I would show you the meeting room, your workstation, the cafeteria and restrooms.
I will show him how to get to transportation because it's very difficult where I live.
i will show historical places such as bridges and palace to them.
fantastic
If I were asked by someone new in local area I would show him or her everything I know or everything he or she needs. It's awesome to have someone who is willing to make your first days easier, someone who can help you adopt to new place.
I would like to show them the herbs and spices shop, a wonderful flavour when you come in.
