That is an excellent picture but Bellevue's metro area has more than 4 million people being a part of the Seattle metro.

^^ Ah, see, I was somewhat confused. I assumed Regina's city population was 190,000, with the metro being bigger (looks bigger than it is, anyway). Never mind, we can eliminate Bellevue from the running.

sorry, I've fixed my post, now it shows regina city and metro population. :)

So Regina's Metro is practically Regina

Benidorm, Spain

^^ this seaside city must have lots of tourists everyday! the numbers of the condo buildings would easily accommodate a million of visitors. :)

This one might be cheating, but how about Monaco (population 33,000 roughly)?

If you can have Benidorm in this thread, Monaco can be in this thread, and last I checked, it wasn't part of Nice's metro area.

I'm closing this thread temperary until we figure out what cities are eligible for this contest. :)
