Some day, I want to visit all the places that have names that are repeated. So far, all I have thought of are:

  • Pago Pago
  • Bora Bora
  • New York, New York
Does anyone know of any others?

Oops, beaten to the punch twice on that post.

And if "Wawa" is out, then "Kwekwe" is no good either. :(
