Oh well... Kuala Lumpur (KL) didn't make it into the first-ever international MONOPOLY edition game board MONOPOLY Here and Now: The World Edition. I did vote OKAY...
Well... at least Singapore didn't make it there either ;P
Oh and Montreal being the costliest...(got the most votes) I voted for Montreal too actually along with Beijing, New york, Sydney, Vancouver, Toronto, Tokyo and Et Cetera.
Et Cetera is not a city ok? ;P Okay I knew you know that -___-" Just being lame...

Those are some really cool 22 cities! I want to travel to each and every one!
I just found out that Riga is the capital of Latvia. Hmm... But where is Gdynia? I shall google that later.
So anyway, Monopoly’s global makeover goes beyond the switch from streets to cities as prime real estate. Hasbro said the old utilities of “Electric Company” and “Water Works” are being replaced with “Wind Energy” and “Solar Energy” to reflect the growing emphasis on worldwide environmental concerns. The four railroads prominent on the traditional monopoly board have been cut back to one with air, cruise and space travel now available as transportation options.

The international theme is also featured in the refurbished Community Chest and Chance cards which now allow players to organize global music festivals, or attend iconic cultural events such as Carnival in Rio De Janeiro or St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin.
The global edition of Monopoly is the latest in a series of modernizations meant to update the game from its original 1935 incarnation.
In addition to the global edition board game, which will be available on Aug. 26, an online and mobile version will be available for download the next day with a version for most popular gaming consoles set for release in October.
