It has been known for the high quality navel oranges grown in the area, its many Victorian homes and it’s fine university. The Redlands Sister City program began in 1963 when Hino, Japan, became our first Sister City. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, became our second Sister city in 1967. We strive to exchange students and teachers between countries to expand education, cultures, and languages.Evil Monkey Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736103807031450100noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840207602306255610.post-84034553653419760642008-02-01T18:28:00.000-08:002008-10-15T22:39:41.252-07:00<p align="center"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Redlands Sister Cities Student Exchange Program Description</span> </p><p>The <a href="http://www.redlandssistercities.com/hino-japan-2008.html">Redlands Sister Cities Association </a>is now accepting applications from students who are currently attending high school in Redlands, or who are between the ages of 14 through 19, to visit Redlands’ sister city of Hino, Japan.</p><p>The home stay/visitation will be for approximately12 days, leaving around March 24, and returning around April 4, depending on airline reservations.
