A bowl, Bert.

I suppose I could give you information about the cities.

San Francisco is a wonderful city. The Bay Area gives beautiful weather year round. The multicultural diversity is insane - it's like all the regions of the world decided to contribute a little bit of themselves to San Francisco. If you can afford the steep housing in the city, and get accepted, then by all means, go there.

Atlanta is a wonderful city as well. Gets muggy during the summers, but it's still full of friendly folk and people who actually say hi to you. It's got a pretty neat history and there's fun stuff to do downtown. Of course, the last time I was there was about 7 years ago, (versus being in San Francisco six months ago) so this could have changed.
