Oakland Info:
Nestled between the San Francisco Bay and the coastal hills, Oakland's got it all: balmy temperatures hovering in the 60s, world-class arts and entertainment, top-flight restaurants and hotels, and an abundance of recreation. What's more, prices are among the most reasonable in the area. Oakland is a modern-day boomtown with a rich cultural heritage. Once home to Ohlone Indians, Mexican rancheros, and gold seekers, it's now a haven for high tech and dot-coms. It's also one of the nation's most ethnically integrated cities: Oaklanders speak more than 100 languages and dialects. Leisure and business travelers alike enjoy its proximity to San Francisco, Wine Country, and Silicon Valley.
Fukuoka Info:
Fukuoka City lies on the northern coast of Kyushu, the southernmost of the four main islands of Japan. It has a population of 1.3 million people (2 million in the metropolitan area) making it the 8th largest city in Japan. With historical buildings such as shrines and temples together with interesting modern architecture, a bustling central shopping district and a generous splash of green, Fukuoka is an enjoyable and varied city. And while Fukuoka offers all the conveniences and cultural facilities of a major city, its slower pace allows visitors to relax.
