  5. Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Worst:

  1. Charles de Gaulle, Paris

  4. Los Angeles International, Los Angeles
  5. Delhi, India

Maybe they've improved Incheon, Seoul in the past two years but the benches and drafty corridors there suck... Reply

This is probably the wrong venue to attempt your education, but in any realistic political lexicon, 'liberal' and 'fascist' are antonyms. How you propose to apply this description to a seating design is a mystery to anyone with a grasp of vocabulary.
