Moscow and Seoul leapfrogged Tokyo to become the world's most expensive cities, a survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting showed. Tokyo, which ranked first in the past two years, dropped to third place.

Moscow jumped to first place this year from fourth in 2005 as the costs of accommodation surged. Seoul rose to second from fifth, while Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, remained the cheapest city to live in, the survey said. New York was the highest-placed U.S. city, rising three places to 10th.

"It can now be more expensive to send employees to work in Russia and Korea than places like Japan or Switzerland, which are often perceived to be more costly,'' Rebecca Powers, a senior consultant at Mercer, said in an e-mailed statement.

The survey, conducted by New York-based Mercer in March, measures the costs of more than 200 items in 144 cities. Companies and governments use the information to gauge the purchasing power of employees transferred abroad.

P.S. Seems it's time to leave Moscow and move to some cheaper place, say to the EU, USA, or CA...

Wow, Moscow? I find that surprising.. I would've thought London or Paris would've been more expensive.

It's cold from October to April in Moscow. In summer (end June - mid August)it's pretty hot.
