Perth has a lot of Sister Cities,

Chengdou, China Houston, Texas Kagoshima, Japan Megisti Greece Nanjing, China Perth, Scotland Rhodes, Greece San Diego, California Seocho City, Republic of Korea Taipei, Taiwan Vasto, Italy

I've never been to any of them though.

Has anyone here been to any of them?

Did you find some kind of 'advantage' when they've gone to one of these places? I'm guessing it'd be like cheap museum tickets or something.

Or have you used the Sister City program in a business capacity?

All I've heard of it is when Rockingham council used it as an excuse to send themselves on a rate payer funded holiday to Japan not too long ago. I doubt there's and advantage for us plebs.

Ha! Of course they did! I'm sure their visit reaped great social and community benefits for the good people of Rockingham!

I suppose councillors knowing how to make sushi could make council meetings more enticing?? I know i'm clutchin at straws.

I've been to Taipei and San Diego. I had no idea at the time either of them were sister cities of Perth.

I have no idea what Perth has in common with any of these places besides Perth in Scotland. Even that is only in the name. Scottish Perth is a town roughly the size of Geraldton.

Houston has about 3.5x our population. Chengdu has about 10x our population.

Could it be the relevant councillors all agree that Pinot Noir is the best red wine! Or something like that? :)
