Elevation & Effect

The elevation of Kissimmee is 19 feet above sea level, & Abidjan's is 21 feet above sea level. Considering their elevations are close to each others they have the same effects. Because the elevation is close to sea level the weather is warmer. It's warmer because the higher you are the lower the air pressure is. Low air pressure makes warm air expand until it reaches its dew point. When warm air reaches its dew point it becomes filled by water, that soon cools & condenses forming snow, ice, or rain. This makes it colder as you get higher up, & warmer the closer you are to sea level.

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">A historical fact that Abidjan & Kissimmee both have is how their name came to be. Kissimmee's name evolved from the Calusa Indian word meaning 'Heaven's place." Abidjans name came to be when a colonist asked a native man what the name of the place was. The colonist misunderstood the man's reply of M'bi min djan, & named the city Abidjan.

<span style="color: #beaf13; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> Kissimmee, Florida & Abidjan, Ivory Coast have very little in common. The biggest difference they have is their population. Kissimmee's population is 62,362 people, & Abidjan's is almost 4 million. Since Abidjan's population is so big their traffic is usually slow & the streets are jammed.

<span style="color: #beaf13; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> Another big difference both cities have is their language. In Kissimmee the residents speak English, but considering how many Hispanics live in Kissimmee a majority of people there speak Spanish. In Abidjan the citizens speak African French. African French is a mixture of both French & Swahili.

<span style="color: #beaf13; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> Kissimmee & Abidjan both are pretty big tourist attractions. Tourists love to see all the beautiful beaches & hotels these two places have to offer, but they aren't always pretty. A lot of times the beaches can be polluted & the hotels may be damaged. Not to mention, a lot of domestic violence & disturbances go on in some of the hotels.

<span style="color: #beaf13; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> Kissimmee & Abidjan aren't what you call the 'safest' place on earth. They both have a lot of violence, theft, & kidnappings. In Abidjan there is even a lot of murders, & conflict to the point where even little children may have murdered someone. Not all of this is an everyday thing in Kissimmee though. The only bad thing you are guaranteed to see if you would visit Kissimmee is violence, fights, & screaming.

<span style="color: #beaf13; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> No matter how different or violent these cities are you can still have fun in both of them. Like in Kissimmee you can have fun at Walt Disney World, but in Abidjan you can hang out in one of their many football clubs! Both of the cities look like they are going to have great, better, looking futures! Kissimmee is becoming more secured with cops, & there is less violence. Abidjan's conflict is going down slowily but it's getting there. If it were up to me, I'd want to visit both!
