, I’ve got some concerns to tell you. I’ve never been to the city, so I somehow feel unsure about living in a new place that I do not know much about. By the way, could I ask you some questions so that I can be best prepared? What is the weather like and should I bring some special kinds of clothes and footwear? What are some things that I should pay attention to, regarding the local culture and lifestyle? What kind of transport should I use there to commute to work and what kind of accommodation should I rent? Thank you and look forward to hearing from you, Yours sincerely, Hien
