Great photos/embedded HTML5 videos. The reader suggestions on Facebook are also helpful.

Bordeaux, but no Iceland?, bizarre, Bordeaux is pretty uninspiring IMO, where are Iceland is utterly stunning.

Colmar is amazing though.

That is the worst picture of San Sebastian. What the fuck.
Edit: a lot of these pictures are misrepresentative of the destinations beauty.

I dunno, does it?

A lot of these photos are quite strange photos to pick of these places.

Of places I've been...

- Bordeaux
- San Sebastian
- Turin
- Mosel Wine Country

...are all pretty misrepresentative of these actual place.

Most of the Top 10 all seem quite exotic/luxurious, very different to Rough Guide's Top 10.

I lived in Hangzhou for a year. Just left a few weeks ago. Really nice city; prettier than most metropolises in China, lots of good food, Chinese and Western both, and a decent nightlife. That said, you'll want to catch it on a clear day.

Sorry NYT your fucking insane.

In no circumstance is fucking Grand Rapids Michigan the 20th best place in the world to visit in 2016.

The list was all good as I could kinda see the logic till I got to that part.

Malta made number 3?

Damn.

I guess they fixed it up quite a bit since the last time I was there. It's always been good for historical/archaeological sites though.

Edit: Toronto is 7? Ok, they mad.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Bordeaux at number 2, I've been there and all but jeez.

Edit: That picture of San Sebastian, haha its like they had to get in and out in 5 minutes and it didn't matter what picture they got.
