The latest issue of Travel and Leisure has an article called “101 Places Every Traveler Should Know”. As you know, I am a freak for lists, so I scanned the article to see which ones I have visited. The following is my personal list from the 101, along with a three word synopsis of each.

SBI: A Thinning Crowd 
Why is Chicago your favorite city?
It’s a big city with a small town feel. It has great restaurants, interesting history, and the best nightclub I’ve ever been to. There’s just something about it that I like.
That’s a funny coincidence, I picked up a book last weekend “101 Places To Visit Before You Die”. I didn’t buy it, the worlds too big a place to narrow it down to 101. I think Yosemite would definitely be up there for me. Cheers Sue
I’ve seen that book, too. Definitely, the world can’t be narrowed down to a list.
checked the list. In the “Asia” section, Hangzhou is there but my hometown Suzhou isn’t. I refuse to accept it.
Asia is the one part of the world that I badly want to visit.
