Because one of my good friends is living there at the moment (and because Jamaica is a homophobic hellhole), I vote Bogota. Screw the kidnappers.

Both seem cool, and my vote has no real basis in anything resembling a reason. Cuzco

I'd be cool with either of these cities, but I love architecture too much not to vote for Chicago.

I absolutely loved Santiago when I went. The people are lovely (and unusually short), the slums are still walkable and the metro is fantastic. There was a very real class division, but the worst off were better off than in the other places I went with the exception of Montevideo. Great clubs, great people, easy to get to the Andes or the Pacific. If it wasn't for the pollution I could live there quite easily. Monterrey is apparently quite pleasant, by my vote is firmly for Santiago.

I spent about a month in Buenos Aires a few years ago, and it was nice but nothing spesh. That said, it doesn't need to be to beat Port-au-Prince. I vote Buenos Aires

Washington. I'm sure San Jose would be a great place to visit, and I don't want it to be a whitewash, but Washington is just a bit cooler.

Another ridiculously tough choice. Seems a bit unfair that the two are paired against eachother, because Toronto would easily get my vote if it wasn't up against New York City.

In all honesty, it probably doesn't deserve to win this matchup. But Cordoba was good to me, and I can't wait to return.
