async function getUserAndTown() {
  console.log("Start of function");
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
    const users = await response.json();
    for (const user of users) {
      console.log(user.name + " / " + user.address.city);  // or: alert(..)
    }        
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('Some error occurred: ' + err.message);
