Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiSan Diego is one of my favorite special places. The second largest city in California and the ninth largest in the entire US, San Diego is a melting pot of agriculture, tourism, telecommunications, ship-building, and more. Home to the world-renowned San Diego Zoo and the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, the city somehow manages to maintains a calm, laid-back approach that makes it one of the best places to experience Southern California away from the hustle and bustle that is Los Angeles. The city is packed with sights and sounds, from the harbors, the Gaslamp District, the beaches, the parks, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, the Point Loma Lighthouse, the various Spanish buildings preserved in Old Town, to the various sports teams like the Padres or Chargers, and you will find it impossible to pack it all into just one trip.
San Diego is a major hub of technology and defense contractors for the US. There are five major military bases within 50 miles of the city, so the entire telecommunications and defense industry is a major draw on the economy here. In addition there are various biotechnology firms in the area, and plenty of video game companies. The food is as diverse as anywhere in the world, and is totally dependent on what part of the city you are in, with a major influence being Mexican. In fact, San Diego is right across the border from Tijuana, which is one of the most visited Mexican cities by American citizens due to its location right across the border.
Outside of the tech and defense industries the most popular thing to do in San Diego is surf, sail, or just laze on the beach. There are literally miles upon miles upon miles of beaches, ranging from beach towns like Ocean Beach to La Jolla to places like Imperial Beach or Coronado, just across the San Diego Bay. But, is also access to the Cuyamaca Mountains, the Cleveland National Forest, or Laguna Mountains, so it really depends on what you want to experience when you come to the city.

La JollaLa Jolla is a beautiful coastal community in San Diego County. It is known as an upscale, rather expensive community to live in, and is popular with tourists. The population was 46,781 as of 2010 and La Jolla is home to the University of California San Diego (UCSD).
It is just a short drive from the excitement of downtown San Diego, so it is a perfect place to stay if you are looking for all the convenience of being in San Diego, but wanting to stay in a mellower location.
A few highlights are La Jolla Cove, a great place to go swimming or snorkeling. Also check out Torrey Pines state reserve for some hiking with spectacular ocean views. The Village has many shops and restaurants, and the Torrey Pines Golf Course is a world class, beautiful golf course that has been featured on the PGA tour. This golf course is very expensive but worth it if you are a golf enthusiast.La Jolla, San Diego, CA, USA -

TijuanaTijuana is located in the northwest corner of the Mexican country, in the state of Baja California and freeway close to the neighbor city of San Diego, California, with manifold tourist and commercial attractions. Tijuana is recognized for its accelerated economic growth, which places it as the fourth most important cities of the country.
There is a lot of shopping in the downtown area, where you can get many touristy items and Mexican novelties. A great place to grab a bite to eat, especially delicious baja style fish tacos!
There are a lot of beggars in TJ, and many of them are children. The rome the beaches trying to get you to buy souvenirs.
Temperature is always around 75 degrees. Tijuana is home to a thriving nightlife that is especially attractive to college students and sailors under the age of 21 (drinking age) from Southern California. The drinking age in Mexico is 18. The city is also known for having some seedy areas and traveling alone is not recommended. People in Tijuana do not have the best chances in life and tourist attitudes should be minimized.
Recently there has been a lot of violence in the area due to the drug wars in Mexico. Border towns are especially bad, and there have been reported cases of tourists who have been killed in the area. Recommend travelers have someone with you who speaks Spanish. Travel to Tijuana using extreme caution!Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
