A country each week

[edumelo]

Hello CRCalvo, I have to admit I haven't heard about your city before. Is it close to San José? It's funny we live in places quite diferent. To you have an idea, the city of Sao Paulo has 3 times the population of your country. You can imagine, as you said, you've been in Mexico City and Sao Paulo is very similar to there.

I work as a computer technician and I study Information Systems at the university. I can't dance samba or lambada, and actually I can't dance anything, I'm not good with dancing, I prefer the music. I study English only throw Internet, like in EC forum. I don't travel very often, but the place I like more is Sao Paulo. That's a great city to visit, there are always new things to know.

I sport... can you guess? Well, as most of Brazilians my favorite sport is the football. I play it sometimes at weekends with friends. I enjoy watching that too. I go often to stadiums watch my team's matches. I also play basketball (I used to play very often at school) and I like ride in the bike.

How about you? Do you study or work? What do you do in your free time? Sports or music?

See you!

Well I'm studying Bussines Administration in ULACIT, I work in COCA COLA COMPANY in the marketing departament, I work in COCA COLA FEMSA that has operations there in Brazil, two months ago some of my co-workers went to visit the FEMSA offices in Brazil, I think that it's located in Sao Paoblo and they told me that is a great country and a nice city too. They went to another city which I can't remember the name buy as they told it most be a paradise.
About sport, I like soccer but I'm not a good player as most of brazilian people are, I love practice TAE WKON DO and I do like swiming to, I prefere the individuals sport. But I love wathing brazilian national team... Wuau!!! They're just wonderful soccer players as Pele, Ronaldo or Ronaldiño...
Each guy in Costa Rica has his own prefered south american national team and most of them likes Brazil or Argentina and if you ask me, I like more Brazil than Argentina...
So, you don't kwon how to dance!!! Pretty bad, as I can see the brazilian girls are so beautyful that it's a bad idea not being a good dancer, don't you think??? Costa Rican women are really nice too and they are good dancers.
And what about Rio de Janeiro, have you ever been there??? Last week I saw in televisiona special program of Rio and it look very nice and it seem people enjoy live and carnaval.. Have you ever been in Carnavals??? How is that???
Regards,

So you work to Femsa. There is a subsidiary of this company here in my city too. They used to produce Coca Cola here, but they found a deposit of mineral water and now they only bottle water to sale.

I haven't been in Rio yet, even it's so close (just 400 km from here). People go from São Paulo to Rio in 5 hours by car or just 45 min by aeroplane.

Carnival... I don't like it very much, but it's beautiful.

[CRCalvo]

Yes I do work in FEMSA and we do sale water too... I most tell you that's a great bussines here because the use of the water is very cheap... It's unbeliveable that even if you live so close to Rio you haven't go to Carvals... At this moment, here in my country there is a promotion a marketing promotion that is taking 30 persons to the Carnavals of Rio and everybody is geting crazy for been part of that...
How that Sao Paoblo luck like??? Is it nice??? Is it hot??? What famuos beaches are there???
Have you ever been in the Amazon jungle??? As a brazilian guy you most be proud of it??? Are you???
