new city

[95broadway]

I would appreciate it if somebody could correct the grammar of my very short statement including this sentense.


When staying in a new city, using buses and trains are preferable than using taxis,since taxis, although convenient, limit the possibility of meeting and communicating with local people.
City maps and bus route maps should be available at most hotels and stores, so get one and go explore the new city;-)!

I think "this sentence" should be fine because what the author meant by "this" when he wrote that was the first sentence he was writing. The first sentence clearly does not belong to the statement he made below.

I agree, but this shouldn't distract 95broadway from the correction of the spelling "sentenCe". Also, I'd avoid any possibility of the scope of the request by using parentheses: '...(including this sentence)'.

Note also that 'so get one and go explore the new city' identifies this as Am Eng (or Br Eng with an American attitude ;-)). The standard Br Eng would be 'So get one, and go and explore...' which sounds to me a bit lugubrious (it doesn't have the right 'breezy' feeling), so I'd prefer 'So get one and start exploring....'.

Yeah, I've noticed that. In some American TV series I've watched, lots of people say something like:"OK, let's go eat." or "I'll go get the key."
