1258320 2012-02-09 15:14:00 It appears to me that Invercargill NZ (46°25 . 5′S) and Hamilton Montana (46°14′54″N ) have about the same latitude, albeit, somewhat inverse of each other .

I wonder how this can be set up and gotten into motion - the sisterhood-thing, that is?

I see that Kumagaya, Saitana, Japan ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Kumagaya,_Saitama" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org) Latitude: 36°9′N - has already declared themselves as a sister city to Invercargill, but I don't think they qualify since the latitudes are so different .

If Invercargill won't acccept the sisterstatehood invite, then what city/town/iceberg IS at the obtuse latitude as Hamilton?

1258322 2012-02-09 18:09:00 First I heard of it but I do not see it as a bad thing. I see that Hamilton Montana has a small population of 4,348 (2010 Census). Invercargill NZ has a population of about 50,000. Bobh (5192)
1258323 2012-02-09 18:41:00 However they do the sister city thing I don't think it has anything to do with latitude. Maybe It should.
And Invercargill seemed like a perfectly good town when I visited in mid June a few years back, only thing I didn't like was the really short winter days.

1258324 2012-02-09 18:53:00 I would make it happen with Nelson Joe, it has the best weather in NZ by a long shot and of course great beaches and 3 National parks on it's doorstep gary67 (56)
1258325 2012-02-10 03:03:00 What is a sister city anyway? What point does it have? And shouldn't they kind of match in how they look and stuff? pctek (84)

I'm kinda of the mind that latitude is important - and besides, if looks were all that important, how's a Japanese city fare with Invercargillians who hang by their tails 'cause the place they live is upsidedown?



What is a sister city anyway? What point does it have? And shouldn't they kind of match in how they look and stuff?

Well - degrees latitude has to count for something! Maybe we can get a trade-off going - Invercargillians can send baby penguins to Hamiltonians and Hamiltonians can send Gray Wolves to them . See? Tit for tat .


Hate to tell ya this Joe . . . Invercargill is the ar$ehole of New Zealand (look on a map) . . . suggest you move further North . . . :D

Nope ---- I gotta stick with the latitude thing-y .
