Tampere ( Tammerfors in Swedish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland-Swedish)) is a city in southern Finland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland) located between two lakes, Näsijärvi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A4sij%C3%A4rvi) and Pyhäjärvi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Pyh%C3%A4j%C3%A4rvi). Since the two lakes differ in level by 18 metres, the Tammerkoski (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammerkoski) rapids linking them have been an important power source throughout history, most recently for generating electricity. Railway tracks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_tracks) from many parts of the nation meet at Tampere railway station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampere_railway_station), making it an important junction on the VR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR_Group) system.
Tampere, with about 200,000 inhabitants in the city itself, and more than 300,000 including the neighbouring municipalities, is the second most important urban centre in Finland after the Helsinki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki) region and the biggest inland city in the Nordic countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries).
In terms of population, Tampere is the third largest city in Finland, and the largest city outside the Greater Helsinki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Helsinki) area.

Rabat (Arabic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language) الرباط, transliterated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration) ar-Rabāṭ or ar-Ribāṭ), population 1.2 million (2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005) estimate), is the capital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital) of the Kingdom of Morocco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco). It is also the capital of the Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabat-Sal%C3%A9-Zemmour-Zaer) region.
The city is located on the Atlantic Ocean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean) at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bou_Regreg). On the facing shore of the river lies Salé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal%C3%A9), Rabat's bedroom community (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedroom_community). Together the two cities account for a population of 1.3 million. Rabat is located at 34°1'60" North, 6°49'60" West (34.0333, -6.8333). [1] (http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/cntry_files.html) Unfortunately, silting problems have diminished the city's role as a port; however, Rabat and Salé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal%C3%A9) still maintain relatively important textile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile), food processing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_processing) and construction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction) industries; some are from sweatshop labor by major multinational corporations (see Salé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal%C3%A9)).
In addition, tourism and the presence of all foreign embassies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embassy) in Morocco serve to make Rabat the second most important city in the country after the larger and more economically significant Casablanca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca).

http://www.pelti.or.id/image/logo-bola.jpg

Surakarta (colloquially Solo) is an Indonesian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia) city of approximately 500,000 people located in Central Java (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Java).
Surakarta is also known by the name "Solo". "Surakarta" is used in formal and official contexts. The city has a similar name with the neighboring district of "Kartasura", where the previous capital of Mataram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mataram) was located. Variant spelling of Surkarata is found as Soerakarta - and is simply the old spelling prior to the pre 1970s' spelling change
It is approximately 65 km (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometre) (40 miles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile)) northeast of Yogyakarta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogyakarta), and 100 km (60 miles) southeast of Semarang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semarang) The eastern part of the town is bordered by Bengawan Solo River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengawan_Solo_River), the longest river on Java. The river is the inspiration for the song Bengawan Solo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengawan_Solo_%28song%29), a 1940s composition by Gesang Martohartono (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesang_Martohartono) which became famous throughout much of Asia
