Pick a place you've never been to, and write about it as though you've lived there your entire life.

What would you consider a typical day in this place?

What type of school did you go to? Where do you work? Where are the best places to hang out after hours?

What do you do over the weekend? Over vacation?

If you met a traveler over lunch, where would you suggest eating?

And so on.
I kind of thought this one up while asking Carole Barrowman (of Hollow Earth fame) questions about how to write about someplace one has never been. Her answers, which appear to focus on the lay of the land, can be found on FaceBook here: www.facebook.com/permalink.php…

And if anybody can come up with suggestions on writing about the people there, let me know.
