How about the World's Best City, according to Travel+Leisure: BANGKOK!

Bangkok the worlds best city? - I know its all subjective and we all have our likes and dislikes but thats a stretch (I thought Vancouver and Seatlle normally rated high in those polls and deservedly so for the former).
Personally I would be up for Bangkok in a heartbeat as I visit at least a couple of times a year but I wonder if HK is a more likely Asian finale?

The delay in an announcement is very interesting. Two months ago, I wrote:
It seems as though any regular tour planning and scheduling would have been announced long ago. But why wouldn't places like HK and Singapore not be announced?
I'm still at the guesswork stage, but---- Perhaps there's something special or different or unique coming down.

Then the Cambodia ( still can't get over that one!) thing came up for Nov 27. Which means that for them to even consider that date and location they must be in the area. So--where? Korea? Singapore? Taiwan? Hong Kong?
Out of all of those Hong Kong seems an absolute natural choice, and I'd bet cash money they are going there. But we are trying to pick the LAST concert...
Then I remembered that AEG is trying hard to build live shows and sporting events in China. Now Leonard may or may not have a large following in China, but his concerts there would certainly be big news for China, for Chinese tourism, and in the entertainment industry. It wouldn't be a full tour like N America or Australia etc. Just a few shows.
And remember that there is---for some reason---a delay on announcing all these final tour dates. Why? It could be that there will be a big "China" announcement coming soon from AEG LIve.

Remember that were were told that the Cambodia gig would be the only one in SE Asia:
However, that does not preclude Japan or China, either of which would be my guess for concerts after Cambodia. I expect Japan is more likely for logistical, financial and political reasons?
From this thread: viewtopic.php?f=44&t=22224jarkko wrote:By the way, Cambodia seems to be the only stop in Southeast Asia. I checked the official definition of "Southeast Asia" (see below)
This means that AsialIfe got it right already in the beginning (while I, with my comment some weeks ago, didn't)
Southeast Asia consists of two geographic regions: the Asian mainland and island arcs and archipelagoes to the east and southeast. The mainland section consists of Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia while the maritime section consists of Brunei, East Malaysia, East Timor, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.[1] Papua New Guinea is an observer in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, as East Timor does.

Based on "tvlcottih" meaning "the very last concert of the tour is H?" - I'm sticking with Hong Kong
(Someone else mentioned it as their choice - I am just playing the game here now of wondering and guessing).
Hong Kong is not considered as part of Southeast Asia?
Hong Kong is not a city.

The name of the last city of the tour starts with a "P" (that's "P" as in Philadelphia)
And the last city of the tour (according to current plans) will be Phnom Penh.
BUT - the last concert of the tour (according to current plans) will not be in a city.
It will be in the "administrative region" of (or dependency of ) Hong Kong.

I rather like this interpretation myself:
Suitably cunning and teasing to be correct! Of course it doesn't help us one bit in guessing the last location... but then I suspect that's the idea.by casterbridgecohen » Fri Aug 06, 2010 5:32 am

My first guess - and hope - was Singapore 
(even though I found out I wasn´t the first to mention it 
)
And there are luckily many reasons to come to Singapore ....
My second guess, which I am hopefully the first to mention (PLS TELL ME; IF NOT!) is Jakarta/Indonesia.
My third guess: Seoul.
... and I really like the idea of giving concert tickets to the winner ...
Yours, Amrei

Just read Jarkko's brief post re. Helsinki concert last night. Reading the concert places he is attending this year, what / where is the place after Gent??? I'm sure I hadn't noticed it there before.

That's it then - last concert is in TVLCOTTIH 
(the name however does resemble the name of a a village in north Wales which has a pub, but certainly no arena)
After all, if Jarkko is attending a concert there........
