sitting on the top of the world…

… is which capital?

at a page, you see us quite interested in the subject of urban living.   we travel, lots, and we constantly connect to people from all around the world, which stimulates well this curiosity and analysis:   Barna is just back from a 10-day Paris escape, which he covered both here and at allhollow blog, Razvan is now touching base in Helsinki on average twice per month, , so you see him learning and applying, i am just back from Slovenia and am preparing a cute feature on my summer indulging in Istanbul, and we are just getting started on Bucharest.

so it is no surprise Intelligent Life’s What Is The Capital Of The World? feature caught my full attention.  in the fading “age of empires” and the massive shift of soft-power, when the world is growing to be “a federation of rival states that all guard their independence and all expect their say“, and more and more global cities (most notably, London) “unshackling themselves from their decaying countries“, and criteria for new “it” extending beyond the obvious, this contemplation makes a fascinating read.

and i’m curious for your vote.
