So, Yuna. What are your first impressions of Silicon valley?

-Well, my first impression is that it's more of a suburban town than a futuristic city. It's a bit early to judge, but I was imagining a more urban atmosphere with high-rise buildings. There's a resort like ambience to the place with the abundant greenery and offices scaattered arond.

-A surburban field, I see. You may already know this, but Silicon Valley doesn't refer to a specific city, but an extensive region in the southern part of the San Francisco bay area. In total, It's about the same size as Shikoku.

-Really? But the population is about three million right? That's similar to Osaka city in Japan. No wonder it gives a spacious impression.
