Candidate Cities (Still Open):Varsovia, Brasilia, Praga, El Cairo, Toledo, Soria, París (Texas) Béjar (Salamanca)

Golden Botijo suggests Brasilia to be chosen and gives the following 12 reasons:

1. Its an arficial, invented city and created out of nothing(no valleys, no rivers, etc....)

2. It´s the last uthopy of the XIXth Century (though it was created in the XXth). I don´t think anyone today would dare to do such a thing

3. Its part of UNESCO´s Cultural Heritage (wikidatunm) an in two days time.

4. Its monuments are so, so, so... well, so-so-so. Its Cathedral is atheistic, its National Museum a cultural igloo.

5. IT´s so new its classical monuments are frome the 60´s and 70´s.

6. For the City Map....Have you taken a look????

7. Because it is a capital city to the world of sects

8. For being weird and bizarre even to the brazilians

9. For being a city in the heighlands (the brazilian Planalto)

10. For being considered an ideal centre for the contact with extraterrestials according to experts in UFO´s.

11. For being the first city that was created because a constitution ordered to do so.

12. Because even the Brazilians didn´t believe it was going to be made.

13. Because it was the dream of a single person alone (Juscelino Kubitschek)

14. Because he had the guts to command it to Oscar Niemeyer.

15. Because it was done in three years time.

16. Because in South Korea they are trying to do something similar to give Seoul some relief.
