Hi Sunny!
How are you?
We're finally coming to Singapore so I wanted to ask your advice on what we should do while we're there. What shouldn't we miss? We'll have our two kids aged 6 and 8 with us so ideally we want to do things we can enjoy as a family.
We've already got a hotel booked in Marina Bay and we arrive on 12 May for a week.
I hope you're around so we can meet up!
See you soon,
Janet

Hi Janet!
Lovely to hear from you and how exciting that you're coming!
You've picked a great area to stay in as it's right next to a must-see attraction, Gardens by the Bay. They light them up at night and the kids will love it. Another place to take the little ones is the zoo, and the Night Safari is really worth doing. The animals are much more active at night than during the day, so it's pretty special.
As for food, there's quite a variety here. I'd recommend trying laksa and kaya toast – they're both really typical Singaporean foods. You can also eat well and cheaply at street markets. You should definitely check them out.
Can't wait to see you all!
Sunny

... is worth doing / seeing / going to.
... is a must-see (attraction).
I'd recommend ...

What's up? I heard you are coming to Zaragoza this summer, I am exiting to see you soon! When you come, I really recommend visiting Pilar that lies in the city center or the ALjafería Palace; both have incredible landmarks. Despite them, another must-see is the Goya Museum where you can enjoy a wide variety of paintings. For a break from the city, Parque Grande is a beautiful green space where we can have picnic, that's a good option, or maybe...A walk along the Ebro River at sunset (I think it would be unforgettable)!
About local food, you should try tortilla patata, jamón serrano and longaniza which are typical Spanish dishes. Zaragoza also have other famous meals such as migas, borrajas and ternasco. When you come, I promise I will bring you to see all these landmarks and try these local cuisine.
I can't wait to see you!

Hi Cristina,
I'm going to recommend you some of the best must-see places, here, in Zaragoza.
So first, the Basilica del Pilar is must-see building, but don't just settle for seeing the inside, you should take a walk outside it and look at the towers, the beautiful facade, the colors...
If your objective is to have a good meal, I'd recommend you to try the sandwiches of El Calamar Bravo in the old town or the Bar Cervino famous for their tapas.
Finally, in case that you come here to enjoy, you can take a walk in the city center, go shopping to Gran Casa or Puerto Venecia or watch a football match in the Romareda.
I hope this help you to decide what to do in best city of the world.
Hello Guys!
How are you? Today I will write the best places to visit near where I live, Greece!
The must see place you should go Is the parthenon, obiously, even if it's a little expensive, it's a beautiful place to visit. The churches are also beautiful. And you should probably go tho the general athens archeology museum, so you can now more things about our beautiful history! The multiple temples spread about Athens are also magnificent, and free! Honestly, coming to Athens is an experience once in a lifetime, and I think nobody should miss it!
Hi!
How are you doing?
I have some exciting new, I am finally coming to Bali! I really wanted to let you know and see if we could meet up while I’m there.
This trip is a dream for me. I have always wanted to visit Bali, and now it’s finally happening! I’m coming just to relax and enjoy the island. It’s my first time, so I’d love to explore as much as I can, and I was hoping you could show me around a bit.
I’ll be staying for two weeks in a hotel in Ubud. Hopefully that’s not too far from you?
Can’t wait to see you!

Hi Noah!
How are you?
Hi! I'm so happy to hear from you. I've been waiting for you for a long time. You picked a great street to stay on—it's the longest one in New York! I showed you lots of cool places like bridges, parks, an underwater tunnel, a cable car, and more. I hope you loved it, because this city is amazing. I can't wait to see you!
Noah!
I'd recommend to visit Giza pyramids, it is a fantastic place, and tourists will enjoy, also Egyptian food is very delicious
Alexandria is worth to be visited, as this city is very wonderful and the food there is very tasty, also sea view is impressive
Hi, there! Lovely to hear that someone would like to know what I recommend near where I live)
I'm in Pattaya now, so it's absolutely no matter where you will stay in, because riding the motorcycle is must-doing here so you can ride anywhere you want to) First of all, you should choose the beach and I highly recommend Ban Amphur Beach because there is not so much people.
I'm sure must-see attraction is Sanctuary of truth. Guide said that this museum is building from 1981 without any nail but I saw the couple of them) Big Buddha temple is another worth seeing place if you like golden statues of Buddha. As for food, there is quite variety here but I recommend Therapist night market if you want to feel Thai vibe and eat well and cheaply. You should deffinitely check it. Can't wait to see you all)))
What would you recommend for tourists near where you live?
Hi there!
How exciting that you’re visiting Guayaquil! You will love Malecon 2000, a beautiful riverside spot, and the views from Santa Ana Hill are amazing. Don’t miss Parque Seminario, where iguanas roam freely, or Isla Santay, a peaceful place for biking and walking.
For food, try encebollado (fish soup) or bolón de verde (plantain dish). There are also great street food options for a tasty and affordable meal.
Enjoy your trip and let me know if you need more tips!
