I heard their primary language is English so I asked some questions to the customer supports at 楽天市場 but they couldn't reply me in English... what's wrong with this picture??

Before replying your quest...Dr. Best-denki sensei,<br /><br />Before replying your questions and confirmations, you don't have to write in English. I can't be your appropriate English tutor since my English score was much worse than biology or chemistry...<br /><br /><br />Well... Foster City is belonging to County of San Mateo, and the facts in 2016 are as shown below. (Source: San Jose Mercury News, as of Jan-6-2017)<br /><br />Foster City, CA<br /> Population: 32,377<br /> Median Age: 40.9<br /> Median Household Income: $123,039<br /> Median Property Value: $897,200<br /><br />...and the City of San Mateo (not County) is as follows.<br />San Mateo, CA<br /> Population: 101,335<br /> Median Age: 39.1<br /> Median Household Income: $90,208<br /> Median Property Value: $778,500<br /><br />Obviously, Foster City is the town for those who has higher heels and deeper pockets.<br /><br />And surprisingly, in 2017 so far, no homicide neither in Foster City nor San Mateo. Within the county, there are ONLY FOUR killings in our county so far this year!! This number is significantly lower than San Francisco, and Oakland of course. (btw. The chance of death by gun shot is 20,000 TIMES higher than Japan if I compare to U.S. average, so it will be ONLY 200 to 500 TIMES higher than Japan, I guess. Welcome to the Wild Wild West.(LOL))<br />However, you can't simply compare by the constant numbers but considering the population. San Mateo is 3 times bigger than Foster City and the citizens of Foster City are very frequently visiting San Mateo to purchase/fulfill their essentials. In other words, Foster City itself can't be survived without San Mateo or other surrounding cities.<br /><br />The county of San Mateo is considered as a north border of Silicon Valley. And actually the county of Santa Clara is the center of Silicon Valley. However, for example, YouTube started in San Mateo and SalesForce.com is in San Mateo, SolarCity which is now a part of Tesla is also located in San Mateo.<br />Contrarily, vast majority of the areas of Foster City are residential. Barely few commercial/industrial zones are assigned hence the city functions are really depending on the surrounded cities as I said above.<br /><br />Bottom line, if you can afford safer place and not depending public transports, Foster City is a great choice to live. For me, the current location is perfect for me where is in front of CalTrain station and lots of Japanese restaurants are walking distance. Well, some junkies or drunk people are in weekends but still safe enough because I'm a big boy. Furthermore, some homeless guys as well as policemen in my area are my friends.

Foster City is a projected town sit...obaKoba-sann,<br /><br />Foster City is a projected town situated in San Mateo County, right?<br /><br />I hear Foster City is every now and then thought to be a piece of Silicon Valley for its provincial business and its closeness to Silicon Valley centers.<br />Is Foster City one of the secured cities in the US, with a median of one killing for each 10 years?... Besides, there are a lot of famous companies with HQs in Foster City.<br /><br />Anyway, a good city to live in, I guess.<br /><br />best denki<br />Yamada denkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208013314781576920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030843786433538220.post-29409713085113897922017-09-24T17:52:50.479-07:002017-09-24T17:52:50.479-07:00masa39さん,
