TEXT: ALESSANDRO.

​

Alessandro is a salesman. He works for a sports boutique in Recife.

 

Alessandro doesn’t like working in Recife because it is a dangerous city with a lot of traffic and crime.

 

The periphery of São Paulo is also dangerous at night. However, Alessandro likes working in São Paulo.

 

“I normally go to São Paulo to work and see my friends who live in the city. I like Pinheiros in São Paulo. It is very calm compared to Recife.

​

In Recife, I go to clubs and bars. I like dancing, drinking and eating at good restaurants. In São Paulo I also work hard, but I love to go out in Pinheiros to drink craft beer with my friends and colleagues.”

 

 

 

TEXT: ANA.

 

My name is Ana. I live in São Paulo. I work at a bank on Avenida Paulista, and my husband is a doctor at Clinicas Hospital.

 

São Paulo is a dangerous city, so I like to take my vacations in Europe. In Europe, I can relax and visit museums and castles. It is a romantic continent, with beautiful parks, cities and shops.
