Personally I always find capitol cities to be completely different from the rest of the country too; despite being by nature 'representative' of that country, they don't actually show much typicality as everything's at one end of an extreme. I loved Japan, disliked Tokyo. Loved Thailand, loathed Bangkok. Adore England, but you're really going to have to work hard to convince me I'll ever want to live in London.

my conclusion; capitol cities are always a bit skank.
