Dear Sarah,
How are you doing? I’ve been so happy since I know that you’re going to live in São Paulo, congrats on your new job, you deserve it! I believe we can spend some time together as we used to do when I lived in Montreal. You don’t need to worry I can show you the best part of
this
amazing city
.
I highly recommend you rent an apartment downtown, more specifically close to Paulista Avenue, I know it might be a bit expensive. But believe in me! In this
location you’ll be able to save money and time as your office is in the centre of the city
, you can go to work using the easy get around using the public transportation. Unfortunately, in the North of the city
the public transportation is too crowded so, avoid living in this
region. I’ve been living in the South of Sao Paulo since I got married, for ,me this
region is so convenient as me and
my husband work from home.
Don’t be worried about making friends, São Paulo is a great Correct word choice
apply
city
, people here are so friendly and there are a lot of bars and restaurants around the city
. Also
, I have some single friends who came from another city
as well. If you want, I can introduce them to you.
Please, let me know what time you’ll exactly arrive at Guarulhos airport. I want to pick you up and we could go to my favourite restaurant.
With love,
