Hello, dear Tom.
First of all, let me say that I was very excited to hear about your moving to our wonderful
city
.
You asked me to get you some tips about the country and the city
.
First and foremost, we have to understand your preferences about your accommodation. There is a variety of types: condos, townhouses, and detached houses. So let's try to realize, what kind of housing will be most suitable for you.
As far as I know, your office is in the dawn town. So, I guess, it'll be the best place to look for your new home, especially if you are not interested in a car rent. There are a lot of kinds of public transportation in the city
centre like subway, buses, and trams. Moreover
, you can find plenty of food courts and food stores. Furthermore
, it's a place of museums, farmer markets, and stadiums. And you will have a gym and swimming pool at your house. Accordingly
, it's not necessary to go out from
Change preposition
of
this
city
- you have all that you need for life near you.
But if you prefer to live in nature - your place is in one of the suburbs. the greatest disadvantage is a lack of public transportation near your home, so you will have to rent or buy a car. But as an advantage, I can point to plenty of beautiful parks and forests, a lot of wildlife around you, and clean air.
So, my dear friend, you have to decide about your preferences. Let me know, please, ASAP, and I'll start to search for your new home.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards, Mark.Submitted by anastasia on
