Introduction
Currently working in France, my company proposes me an expatriation to Sao Paulo. I ve never been there so any information regarding experience living in Brazil, is very welcome: is this city and country fairly safe so you can have a normal life ? Is it easy to get out of town during the week end to have a break in the country side? I am also very keen to meet people and to start doing networking as I will be 2 weeks per month in town as from October (and not easy to learn the language when you'realone). I start my Portuguese lesson next week and I am also keen to keep my English up to date.
I joined expat.com on 27 June 2012.

Expat experience
I work in the real estate business doing development in south east of France.
Not too small so you can have a very interesting cultural and social life. Not too big so you can have a great quality of life with access to country side within a few minutes. Town is beautiful, food excellent, easy access to the mountain (skiing for those who like it) easy access to the Mediterranean sea (Marseille is just a beauty), easy access to Paris (less 2 hours train). The perfect place to grow up your kids!
... Everything is perfect... Nevertheless I can probably say it is too frenchy!
