Hello! I'm Malaysian living in US and planning to visit your city by middle of September.

I would appreciate if you could recommend me places to visit and most importantly the best restaurant in town. I like to know local culture and love history and scenaries. I love seafood and interested to try local cuisine! It would be great if someone can meet-up /show around too!
