Dear All
I will move to BH in AUG. I will be working for an mining supplier on expat basis. I have a few questions regarding the city.
1) what is a nice district to live in? I am looking for a district were usually expats live. I've heard that Savassi is a nice district, is that true and will i find an appartment there for +/- 800 USD (approx 100m2)? How about Nova Lima, heard that was pretty good as well? Is there a lot of traffic during the rush our from city center to Nova Lima?
2) Does somebody know a good portugese school?
3) Is there a golf course in BH?
4) Crime, what is your feeling about it in BH. I am used to cities as Lima (Peru) or Santiago (de Chile), could somebody give me an indication if it will be similar to other big South American cities or better (worse).
5) I already read that you guys have some expat meetings, cool! how often do you get together?
6) Pollution: do you guys have a lot of smog in the city? I am used to Lima which is pretty bad.
Some info about me:
30 year old mechanical engineer, will get married in AUG, I'm Dutch with a German girlfriend. Worked in Netherland, Germany, Peru and soon Brazil. Golf and Squash fan
cheers and hope to meet you soon,
Florian
