A good indicator is beer

**mcmc** · 06-15-2004, 07:12 AM

I don't know how Mercer gathered that information but they are full of shit. Cleveland comes in #98 but Las Vegas isn't even on the list. I moved to Las Vegas from Cleveland less than a year ago and I can tell you that the cost ofliving is DEFINITELY higher here in Las Vegas. I am not talking just abut housing, a lot of day-to-day stuff costs more here.

Pay about 2-4? for a pint of beer (depends on where, normally the English pubs are more expensive)

Still, the list is not complete, my home town Reykjavik should have been in the top 10, it is deffinately more expensive than Copenhagen

**TORTOISE** · 06-16-2004, 01:28 AM

the survey doesnt really give a good indicator....london as number 2 is based on propertly prices..although its not cheap to live there ..thats why i moved hehehhehe,but to put like china above some usa states is crazy ....they are comparing the most luxury places,ie property and extreme eating out places etc to compare costs of living ...after 20 yrs of travel i can tell you that list is not accurate at all ..unless you compare extreme factors.

**Spunky** · 06-16-2004, 05:10 AM

Geez I always thought we were closer than #96...damn expensive here

**gazool** · 06-16-2004, 05:13 AM

Copenhagen.. I can't affort to write more now...

**Jer** · 06-16-2004, 05:15 AM

I used to live on the #128

Beer in a club costs $1.35 - $1.70, in a bar they're about $1.

Yep, location, location, location... If it's in the city get ready to fork out some madd cash

now if it's in like farther out of the city then it'll be a lot cheaper.

Exactly. Its an indicator of costs for the relocated uber-star pampered employee. There is no way Ho Chi Minh City could be anywhere near that number for the casual tourist.

**Project-Shadow** · 06-16-2004, 08:05 AM

#2 for me...
What shocks me is that Moscow is number 3...

But Japan being #1, I kinda expected that.
Hey the advantage is that when we go on holiday it's always cheaper for us

Thread starter meant to say the ones at the bottom were "least" expensive I presume.
