Krakow’s New Sister

Soon to join Edinburgh, Milan, and Kyoto in Krakow‘s over 30 partner cities is San Francisco, USA. According to the official press release, San Francisco’s Mayor Gavin Newsom is “pleased that the beautiful, innovative and destination cities of Krakow and San Francisco are now sister cities,” though he will not be attending the official signing ceremony in Krakow on July 3rd. Upon this announcement, The San Francisco Chronicle’s online presence, SFGate.com, may have mixed us up with our western neighbours Germany by declaring: “Sauerkraut for everybody!” (how about bigos guys?). No matter – the partnership is set to strengthen cultural and business ties, and hopefully also educate people about local cuisine.
