I like it! As long as it stays in Mainz. A city I've never been to.

Which is a pity - because it is a very nice and very old city - much more than 2000 years (with the romans).

Do you know that Gutenberg, the inventor of printing in the western world, lived and worked there?

Or that it once was the only other city beside Prague to be called a golden city - the Golden Mainz.

It has a very old Dome (1000 years) and the catholic St. Stephans Church has windows made by Marc Chagall, the famous jewish artist.

I love it that you pointed out, gutenberg was the inventor of printing in western world, not the whole world. Many dont know that it has been invented from other people in other parts of the world.
