Hello Mike from Athens, Greece! This whole twin city story brought Jerusalem to my mind. Passing the border there is still very hard due to political, religious and cultural reasons. It already is on my Goodreads to-read list.

Just got the China Miellville book. I know this will make you snore but the movie Upside Down with Kirstin Dunst is a magical dystopia with mirror cities that is incredibly beautiful. I might just watch it again now that you reminded me. I really appreciate artfully-done visual effects paired with unusual storylines.

I am very surprised you were bored in east yorkshire with the seaside and city of hull with all its museums theatres cinemas and other attractions. I never had a dull moment in the 20 years.I spent there

I joined the scouts which kept me very busy. I only left to go to university and sadly found the only jobs for me were down south.

Still you seem to have made up for such a disappointing upbringing
