Sister Cities

 


There is a sign in downtown Phoenix, just across the street from City Hall showing all of Phoenix's "sister city" affiliations.  They are:

  • Himeji, Japan
  • Taipei, Taiwan
  • Chengdu, China
  • Ennis, Ireland
  • Grenoble, France
  • Prague, Czech Republic
  • Calgary, Canada
  • Catania, Italy
  • Ramat-Gan, Isreal


The only one I've visited is Calgary.  My friend David was lucky to get to go on a city trip to Prague about 10 years ago.  He enjoyed that very much.

I have no idea if we have that.

Lots of places left to visit.

That's quite interesting.

I have also been to Prague and Calgary. Is there a benefit to being sister cities, aside from being able to simply claim that status?

So many siblings. That could make a nice world tour, Sharon.

Traveling is fun. That would be an interesting project to visit all those places.

Strange that there is no sister city in Mexico. I believe Prescott has two down there.

Wow so many cities included here. Because they all shared some sorts of agreements?

Gemel said...

It is interesting how they do this.

Ever is good in holidays to travel and to visit new places. To go to other cities, or other countries is good for mind and Spirit. I like to travel a lot.

Have a nice and joyfull summer, with LOVE.
