5. Hanoi
6. Tokyo
7. Singapore
8. Sydney
9. Shanghai
10. Kuala Lumpur

If you have two weeks and an Amex card burning a hole in your pocket, this is what I'd recommend. I don't think KL should even be on the list.

I hope so, Bob. I hope to have a hotel to add to my favorites list. I already know I can find great shopping bargains there. KL struck me as rather boring on my previous trips, but I'm hoping to find some hidden gems.

Now...now...let's not slam KL too much...yes, it IS a bit boring and yes, I feel it's a bit of a Singapore wanna-be city...but it IS architectually fasinating. Happy Travels!

I'm a little surprised by Singapore's rank but not Tokyo- Tokyo is just too expensive.
