The Sister Cities of Los Angeles
When I was downtown last week, I noticed something I hadn't seen before, the Sister Cities of Los Angeles.
The building behind the sign in this photo is the downtown Los Angeles Police Department. I've been in this area plenty of times but somehow I've never seen this before. I think that's because this sign is located at the south end of City Hall. It was cool to see how many sister cities I've visited.
So far I've been to: Athens, Auckland, Berlin, Eilat, Guangzhou, Jakarta, Mexico City, Mumbai, St. Petersburg, Taipei, and Yerevan.
11 out of 25 isn't too bad! Here's a wider look of this sign downtown.
So does everyone else know what the sister cities are for the town or city they live in? I'd love to hear about it!

Just checked the sister cities of my Czech home town... havent been to any of them... in fact, I barely know them :D
Wow, that's crazy, I didn't know places had that many sister cities! Insane that you've been to 44% of them!! I had never thought to check before but I just checked Leeds (where I live) in the UK and I didn't know any of them!:
Brno - Czech Republic
Dortmund - Germany
Durban - South Africa
Hangzhou - China
Lille - France
Louisville - US
Siegen - Germany
Crazy! I wonder if I know anyone from Louisville!? Never been to any of the others and don't really know anyone in those countries, not that I've been to Louisville!
That's a cool list! I just read the most random article this morning about Hangzhou, China. There's a suburb of the city that's a replica of Paris!
Btw, if you want to see something wild, check out the sister cities of New York. I didn't even bother to count how many there are! There are 9 in Canada alone!
How weird is that! Both the fact that there's a suburb replica of Paris and the fact you happened to read an article on it!! Jesus that's mental! I didn't realise cities had multiple sister cities let alone that many!!
Brno is cool, I lived there for some time :)

Mexico City is the sister city of Los Angeles California? I find that someone surprising.
Don't have a clue about the sister cities of my hometown...
But you should definitely put your sister city Vancouver on your travel list. The most beautiful city I have ever seen ;)
