According to the list, they are in rank order: Hoi An, Vietnam; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Chiang Mai, Thailand; Mexico City; Oaxaca, Mexico; Ubud, Indonesia; Tokyo, Japan; Kyoto, Japan; Florence, Italy; Udaipur, India; Rome, Italy; Charleston SC; Seville, Spain; Santa Fe, NM; Bangkok, Thailand.

Questions: Who thought up this list? While some of the cities chosen make some sense, while many we never heard of. Especially listing an obscure village in Communist Vietnam as #1. And how about three gang-controlled Mexican cities also among the top 15? And have U ever been to Ubud or Udaipur?
