| São Paulo |
I am an American
executive who was asked by my company to travel to Brazil to help expand our
business there. After my first visit to São Paulo, I decided to try and
learn the language so that I would be more effective and productive.
I did not relish the
prospect of traveling to Brazil for any length of time without having some
understanding of the language.
Well, I got more than that Laura! I have
now traveled to Brazil about twenty times during the past two years. Thanks to
Laura, I tell our few English speaking employees that they no longer have to
“baby sit” me.
I can spend weekends alone in São Paulo, and
in the two other cities where my company has facilities, attend churrascos
where hardly any English is spoken, go running in the evening and grab some
açaí on the way back to the hotel.
Our Brazilian
employees joke that I am ½ Brazilian. Thank you Laura!! We gotta
work on the other half!!
Very truly e abraços,
Jack L. Williams, Jr.
