    What country is MI? Or is it city code? Milan or Manilla? And why use code instead of writing it out?

      That island is between the two Michigan peninsulas. There’s a 4-mile long bridge nearby connecting them.

      It’s Michigan, I’ll be happy to write it out. It’s routine to use abbreviations for U.S. states even outside of the U.S., but I understand that not everyone is going to know them.
