Vote for one out of each pair.  The winer of the tournament will be decided after 7 rounds.  You can interpret the question any way you like (it could be city you would rather live in, city you would like to visit or have visited and enjoyed your time there, politics, culture or whatever else comes to mind).  For more information on the cities feel free to visit:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_areas_by_population

The poll will close in 24 hours.

Most probably know little about either. But yes, I get your point sbane.  Trust me. Smiley

It may have been true, 50 years ago. Certainly not now, unless one has unusual tastes and preferences.

My oh my, I have never heard of Surat, and here I thought I was good at geography. Are folks taking seriously the language issue?  Doesn't that trump most everything else, where one is going to live for a very long time (unless you are very facile at picking up foreign languages, which certainly I am not)?

If you own any diamonds, its likely been through that city. Also, I am trying to vote based on the importance of the city in my view, which is biased in some cases.

It's a shame that Istanbul and Barcelona are up against each other so early. Both should really be at least quarter-finalists.

Also I'm sad that DC was killed off so early. It's really a very cool city.
