Twin towns — sister cities
Židlochovice is twinned with:[3][4]
gollark: I mean, they infect more people, which is... not good.
gollark: The UK seems to plan to reopen them, because of people somehow insisting that it would be horribly immoral for people to not do school for a while?
gollark: My school still hasn't really explained what they plan to do to reopen safely, and the term starts in about 2.5 weeks.
gollark: I mean, in lots of cases big companies actually *don't* have enough money to, say, cover several months of zero revenue.
gollark: Expensive yes, but "damaging for space"? Who cares? Besides, there are ridiculous amounts of asteroids.
