If I recall, my small town used to twin with some rural town in South America just below the equator for the same reason. Don't know if towns/cities still twin, but we also have my city named weirdly in Canada, but for all different unknown reasons.
Sorry for the OT =)
I think the twin cities are forever, but maybe im wrong. Anyways always make me laught that thing of "twin cities" becuase i always read that and think to myself " and this what give us ? "
Im doing like a piece of shit in the pool, but well we all know we only play for the fun right?
Insert meme of "come on do something" and add the Mercedes logo.
