The frost is beginning to turn here in freezing Mongolia meaning it’s time for another edition of Simply the Best. The month of October saw the end of Vegas Knockout: The Winner’s Bracket of Where to Stay in Vegas and the completion of the Pho Sho: Top 10 Pho Worldwide. At the same time, the pulse section, my commentary on all global news saw a spike in readership.
But, instead of listing every great post, I, like always, have limited this list to the top 7 for the month of October:
1. PHO SHO, FU UH SHO: THE TOP TEN PLACES TO GET PHO!
![Phở or pho (pronounced variously as /fʌ/, /fə/, /fər/, or /foʊ/ so please stop messaging me that it’s not pronounced pho! I get it, we all get it but choose to remain ignorant for the sake of levity.](https://thepointsoflife.boardingarea.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/2017-03-13-12.19.10.jpg)
