I will also note that my city of Adelaide, Australia made the list. This is entirely unrelated to Bolivia but in fairness the post is entirely unrelated to Michigan (except in the MGoBlog inside joke context).

 

Adelaide is amazing and incredibly underrated, especially when the only cities most Americans seem to know in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne (with a few knowing Perth and Brisbane). Beaches, wineries, a decent night life (1.2 million people in the city), and gorgeous weather, and nothing is more than a half hour's drive from anything else.

I've been to Adelaide and very much enjoyed it. Never did get my pie floater, though.

Didn't spend a lot of time in the city, though, as we went up to the Clare and Barossa valleys. A lot of things to see in the area.

We are trying to make the MGoBolivia respectable, of course.

Phase VIII of La Paz Estates should be done by late March, and we hope to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the new multi-purpose sports complex which will open later in the year. This should provide the residents of Bolivia the ability to get soccer, hockey and a few other sports going during months with rough weather. We've also worked out a deal which will mean the final phase of broadband (as opposed to DSL) coming to the seedier parts of the colony by mid-summer.

Huge clickbait list... Bolivia, Cuba, Philly, Cleveland, ZImbabwe... NYT like other publications just put out whatever list to get people to click and share. I am beginning to think they just randombly pick 50 cities, go to the wikipedia to write something about the place and then publish. (cool inbedded videos for the cities though)

Meta

Is anyone else finding it literally impossible to post from the MGoBlog HD app recently? Am I alone? I absolutely love the app but am disappointed that, after buying it, I still need to use a mobile browser. Hopefully it's just me.

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," after they get dropped off at the train station out in the middle of Bolivian nowhere:

Butch: "You know, it could be worse. You get a lot more for your money in Bolivia, I checked on it."

Sundance: "What could they have here that you could possibly want to buy?"
