City Challenge #13: Port Lucaya vs. Kibungo

Friendliness of the people:
Respect for everyone vs. disdain for tourists
Solid edge to Kibungo

Cost:
8 buck for milk vs 60 cent cabs
Another clear edge to Kibungo

Velocity at which food blasts through your digestive system:
Greasy division: Port Lucaya
Spicy division: Kibungo

Women:
Locals in wraps vs tourists in bikinis
No brainer to PL here. In fact, they get 2 for this one.

Roadways:
The K’o drivers are aggressive, but at least they drive on the correct side of the road.

TV:
5 channels vs 3 ESPNs
Edge to PL

Scenery:
Kibungo is beautiful, but everybody knows beaches trump mountains

Wildlife:
Running with zebras vs swimming with dolphins
Tie

Climate:
Cool year round vs ‘What the hell kind of sweat box is this?’
Edge to K’o

Music:
Rwandan music is nice, but, come on, man: PL has kettle drums!

Currency:
Bahamian is interchangeable with US. Still, it doesn’t have gorillas on it.

Aggressiveness of the market sellers:
They’re insistent in PL, but it’s strictly A ball compared to the major leagues of Ko.

Pollution:
Littered beaches vs air that smells like diesel
Edge to PL only because they’re at least making some attempt to clean the beaches

Accents:
French vs understandable
Edge to PL

Winner: Port Lucaya 8-7. They move on to the round of 512.
