You should use a semicolon in this sentence:

"Cities I'd like to visit include Mumbai, India; Stuttgart, Germany; and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso."

Using semicolons helps to clearly separate items in a list when the items themselves contain commas.

You should use a comma in this sentence:

"My favorite place to be is on a boat, I can just forget about all my other problems."

However, note that in this case, it would be more grammatically correct to use a period or a semicolon to separate the two independent clauses:

"My favorite place to be is on a boat; I can just forget about all my other problems."

or

"My favorite place to be is on a boat. I can just forget about all my other problems."

But if you must choose between a comma or a semicolon for the original sentence structure you provided, opt for the comma.

You should use a comma in this sentence:

"I had sushi for dinner last night, and I want it today."

This is because the second part of the sentence is connected to the first with the conjunction "and."

In the sentence **"Emily loves milk, but she can't drink it; she's lactose-intolerant,"** the semicolon is **uniting two closely connected clauses.**

The first clause discusses Emily's love for milk, and the second clause explains why she can't drink it, thus showing a relationship between the two statements.

In the sentence **"I haven't decided what I want to do this weekend; I'd like to go to my friend's barbecue, but there is also a cherry picking festival happening in Lancaster,"** the semicolon is **uniting two closely connected clauses.**

The two clauses can stand independently, but the semicolon links them together to indicate a relationship between the ideas presented in each clause.
