If it's just a language issue, quebecers already have Paris if they want to speak french
And Alex/Ludovic won't say the contrary as he's a citizen of Paris
New city for new language? One more reason to vote for Tokyo!
Hum...anyone speaks japanese?
^^

Well yeah, i live in Paris because it's a french city... But the Parisiens and the frenchies doesn't use the same french then I, so sometime i get messed up because they are using words that we don't even use in Quebec, like we do...

...and they are an offense to french language IMO
At least it remains a communication way for those here that are unable to speak a correct french...
But that's once again off-topic, so i won't say more about it.
Any other proposition for a new popo-city? Or any new point of view about the cities already mentionned?

In Africa, maybe a Maghrebian city, Algers or anywhere else. Raï is quite important "world" music and could be a hub for African and Arab worlds [add also French imperialists like Shadd
]

French colonization ended some decades ago...
And i'm not feeling really imperialist...
Am i?
Back on topic, a city in Africa should be good, for sure, as it would furthermore open a new continent to play in
A Maghrebian city is an option, and one in South Africa should be good too i think.
Pekin should be fun too, when you look at the fast devellopement of China, but i'm not sure that Chinese people are autorized by their governement to access a site like Popo
And there's stiill the language issue that should cause problems...
