Damn it. The Post beat us to the punch on a witty title for this story.

In an article entitled “District Adopts a Seoul Sister,” the Post today reports that the District’s family of city siblings has grown by one — Seoul, South Korea was designated a sister city yesterday, bringing the tally so far to 10.

During a ceremony at the John Wilson Building yesterday, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams and Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-Bak drank sparkling cider and feasted on a three-tiered cake decorated with the flags of South Korea and the United States as they celebrated their newfound union. Seoul will now be added to a growing family of sister cities for the District, which include Paris, Athens, Brussels, Brazzaville, Bangkok, Beijing and Dakar. And while that may seem excessive, the Post notes that Chicago has 25 sister cities thus far, so we have some catching up to do.

We were particularly amused by this tidbit from the article, which brings into sharp relief the efficacy of Williams’ security team:

Suddenly, amid the applause, a white-haired man approached, laid hands on the mayoral foreheads and began to pray. The man, Ray Bringham, the California founder of an international prayer summit, was not on the guest list. Startled city officials quickly led him away.

Thankfully, Seoul took this little protocol mishap in stride. Brussels, though, would totally have been a bitch about it.
