Hello,

Could you help me with the following sentence?

As I could read, you have seen a lot of things and so you have many impressions about this city.
(In the sense of having seen a lot of different things, having a lot of pictures in your mind, without judgement)

How would you put it without changing too many words?
Thank you so much in advance.

Here's one:

I read that you have seen a lot of this city and acquired many impressions.

Hello Mr Micawber,

Thanks a lot for your answer. Now, I have a question about the first part of the sentence.

If I want to refer to a postcard that I got from the person I'm writing to, shouldn't I change the beginning a bit. Like:

From what you wrote I can tell that you have seen a lot of the city already and must have aquired many impressions.

What do you think?

Thank you in advance for your reply.
