Darwin , General info:
9/10

Darwin is the northern most city in Australia. Being very close to Asia, Darwin exhibits a tasty urban asian flavour with amazing night and day markets every week. Being a coastal town Darwin is known for its beautiful ocean sunset and sailing however due to the tropical climate, crocodiles and box jellyfish mean the oceans aren't swimable. The weather in Darwin averages a maximum of roughly 31 degrees (celcius) every month of the year. Darwin is the gateway city to Kakadu, Litchfield park and the plethora of Northern Territory's beautiful national parks and waterfalls. With the tropical climate comes Darwin's very down-to-earth people who epitomise the 'Aussie' culture and cliche.

San Jose , Safety:
9/10

The traffic is dangerous. Cars don't stop for pedestrians, and they generally drive fast. The area around the Coca Cola Bus Terminal is not safe at night, and you should watch your belongings at all times in the city. If you have a flat tire on the main highway to the airport, don't accept help except from an established service station, and never accept help from a person who offers to help on the highway. It may become a car-jacking. If you travel by bus, never put your luggage into the storage space, even if the driver wants you to at the beginning of the travel. Crime is a serious problem, so be constantly on the alert. Also, police may stop you and take you to jail for not carrying your passport, or a photocopy of the main page and the entry stamp.
