My name is Anil, a traveler and travel enthusiast. I created foXnoMad to connect with other travelers, discover their world, and share what I’ve learned about mine.
wow- so many people have already voted!! I was interested to see the results on each of the votes- I tended to pick the ‘winner’ without realizing it- only on 3 of the votes, I had voted for the one which was lagging behind.
Thanks for the fun!
The votes have really taken off today haven’t they? Some of the cities have made quite the early impression…fun thing is so much can change between now and Friday
Good luck!!
Recount!
I think David should move to Zermatt… lol
LOL!
I’m so transparent, since Rio was nixed. Istanbul all the way!
Surprised there are no South American cities left…ah well, some good alternatives to vote for
This was fun! Interesting to see what other people think, I’m surprised that Amsterdam had more votes than Rome, maybe because people in rome tend to come out a bit stuck up and ignorant – or it’s those brownies in amsterdam that are just soo tasty
I’d think the brownies would make people too lazy to vote
You’ve got me up against Paris this week!! How will I ever survive?
Lovin’ this Anil … it is too much fun!
It’s a tough one, Paris has been really going strong since the beginning. Time to recruit some Vikings on your side!
Frustrated…where is the love for Asian cities?!!!! Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Tokyo….they rock!
Very Euro-centric so far, if the votes hold up could be an Elite 8 of European cities. But only 10 votes right now for the Asian cities to tie things up, plenty of time!
THAT was fun…and my vote was for the most popular city in the end every time. Huh. I should go play the lottery now
lol
Sheesh. Almost all of my picks are underdogs.
The favorites really jumped out ahead in the round…
Come on NYC!!!! Remember – I’ll donate the winnings to http://bigapplegreeter.org so that more people have a friendly welcome to this wonderful town!
Every time I check the poll you’ve changed places
Looks like it will be neck and neck the whole way through…
I’m surprised to see Dubrovnik get knocked out the first round! That’s still one of my favorites. Go Instanbul- all the way!
Had some tough competition from New York City, which has a lot of followers…Istanbul is going strong though
