Fiji is an island located in the South Pacific, and its name means just that – island. The major economic industries of the country are tourism and sugar exports. Fiji is one of the premiere vacation spots for people across the globe, due it its excellent tourism industry and fabulous weather. The culture is a blend of European and native Fijian, and has something to offer for everyone.
Why I Love Fiji
Fiji is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and since most of the population is English-speaking, it’s easy to communicate with the native people and to truly get a feel for what the island has to offer. I’m a huge Rugby fan, and since Fiji has a very good international Rugby team, I love to catch a match whenever I visit.
What’s Notable About Fiji
Fiji is actually a nation comprised of 322 islands. Only one-third of these are populated by man, however. All of the islands are covered in lush forests, and have high mountainous regions. Because of the landscape, the tallest building in Fiji is only 14 stories tall! Viti Levu offers the most in terms of tourism, however there are many different day-trips available for those who want to branch out and see some of the local attractions instead of focusing only on the major tourist destinations.

Atlanta, Georgia is one of the ten most highly populated cities in the U.S., with a population of a little over 5 million people. Atlanta, like most other U.S. cities was originally inhabited by Native Americans. The Cherokee are thought to have originated the area that is now Atlanta. The city wouldn’t remain quiet for long however, when it became the terminal city for a western expansion railway system in the mid-1860s.
Why I Love Atlanta
Today’s Atlanta is nothing like the settlement of the 1800s, although it definitely is as busy or busier than the railroad terminal built in the 1860s.Atlanta had an important role in the advancement of civil rights, with Black Colleges and Dr. Martin Luther King working together to further desegregation.
What’s Notable About Atlanta
During the 1960s, Atlanta was one of the only southern U.S. cities to boycott segregation efforts, using instead a campaign that the city of Atlanta was “too busy to hate”. The majority of the population is African American, most likely as a result of the continual support for racial integration throughout the city. Atlanta contains the third largest number of fortune 500 company headquarters, and it is also the location of Coca-Cola and Home Depot’s corporate headquarters.

Beijing probably has more bicycles than any other city in the entire world! Most people use bicycles as their main means of transportation in Beijing. And, you will quickly see that the people o Beijing have black, shiny hair and very dark eyes. Anything else on a native – and you can assume that it’s fake! Beijing is a loud and exciting city, where there’s always something happening.
Why I Love Beijing
I love Beijing, because it’s one of the most authentic cities that I have ever visited. The city is rich in tradition, while definitely moving forward into the future. Some of my favorite sites include the Great Wall, The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. And, an afternoon of browsing on Wangfujing Street is something you definitely shouldn’t miss!
What’s Notable About Beijing
Beijing is the capital of China, and it will be host to the 2008 Summer Olympics. Construction is underway now in preparation. The city was founded sometime between 400-300 B.C., and was much different then than the city is now. Because of over-population, Beijing is experiencing many urban development problems similar to those of other modern countries; traffic, pollution and a migration of the poor to urban areas.

One of the twin cities, St. Paul actually became a city before Minnesota became a state! This city got its start when missionaries, explorers and traders were looking for the protection that local Fort Snelling could give them. Ironically, the officials of the fort eventually made the settlers move away from the fort as a result of the prominent whisky trade in the area!
Why I Love St. Paul
Every winter, the banks of the Mississippi are transformed into a winter wonderland for Winter Carnival; a celebration of food, fun, dancing and the crowning of the “King of the Winds”.
