Though he didn't recite the tag line — "Nandemo ari fornia, California" — from his state's tourism campaign, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made clear in an appearance Tuesday in Tokyo that the Golden State has it all ("nandemo ari").
"God has given us a beautiful place, beautiful coastline, great mountains and deserts. You can very rarely find places in the world where you can go surfing in the morning and then late morning you can go snow skiing, which is an hour and a half or two hours away from where you surf," Schwarzenegger said at a breakfast meeting organized by the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan at Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku Ward.
"Then early afternoon you can go golfing in a desert in Palm Springs and in the evening you can be sitting again, a little romantic good California, red wine in Napa Valley," he said.
