London has some of the most expensive vile food you'll find anywhere.

BEautiful architecture though

What?? More than 10 of the worlds best restaurants are in London:

Amazing food if you hit the right places.

Warsaw more expensive than Shanghai, Frankfurt and Luxembourg? :eek7

Lot's of rich Mafia guys in Moscow :winkwink:

Totally agree!! :thumbsup And generally, the service stinks.

There are some decent restaurants, but rare and far between. Part of this comes from grossly inflated overheads (rent blah) and little money left to buy the food :-)

Now I remember why I escaped this version of civilisation :-)

Vancouver is 87..I thought we were more expensive than quite a few of those mentioned

Yea true vendot - and some excellent chiefs, but the general standard is really very low when ya compare it with other locations/countries.

Some of the best restaurants in the world (least according to the guides) are located in obscure locations, - but very nice places, and the cost is very moderate in comparison with London (hell, much the same with any city!).

I always wondered what a US person who ever bought a basic Big Mac in London thought of this pathetic culinery experience for the price they charge! :1orglaugh

I see my original hometown of Pittsburgh made 111. I agree with that.

I'm moving to tokyo soon woohoo!!

Oslo, Norway 10! Fucked up!

my favorite city is

curitiba

in the state of parana in brasil

nothing like iit anywhere else.

surprised to see Moscow up there at #4...

Winnipeg would be way down near the bottom of that list. It's cheaper to live here than the other Canadian cities on that list. And I for one like the low cost of living. :D

I want to go to Mezzo :(

Top two, are both located in Japan.

New York only #13. Hmm, I don't think I will complain about this low ranking for my city.

Chosing the least expensive place doesn't really mean less opportunity to enjoy.. ;)

Japan is not so expensive if you like to live like a Japanese person. I stay at a Japanese style in in Tokyo that is 5 min walk to a major train station. I can be anywhere in Central Tokyo in less that 45 minutes. The "ryookan" is only $43 a night. Hell, I stay two or three weeks at a time. Extremely clean and friendly folks.

The subways, trains, and buses are cheap, efficient, timely, and the directions are easy to understand.

If you eat pork, chicken, ramen, curry, udon, rice and pickles, the cost of food is reasonable.

What cost a lot are steaks, western style hotel rooms, booze, and private transportation. Just what western tourists use. No wonder the list is not very accurate for a person wanting to experience immersion in the local culture instead of a postcard viewing of museums in a tour group.

damn, not many US cities on there

atlanta 82 :thumbsup

no wonder the top 2 is from Japan...i think it's the cleanest place as well.

Dublin is #13...yeah it's expensive there cause i was there in December but the food is great.

i'd love to visit manila one of these days..im getting curios how people live there

damn, i knew Zurich is expensive. But number 7 .... :Oh crap

Now I know why I need so much money ... the city I am living in is in the Top 20 :pimp

Hong Kong is not in Hong Kong any more...

:smokin

NYC rules all

Damn with Moscow that high up Russian fanatics will soon spam the thread, yelling just how expensive everything is and that food costs $3K a mo. Take cover everybody

care to elaborate on that? HK is the shopping capital of Asia and have been
there as well, though i can't stay that long since gf is spending too much
of my savings hahaha

:smokin

I don't think this list is 100% true...

119 Nairobi, Kenya
119 Winston-Salem, United States
119 São Paulo, Brazil

I see that the entire world is headed for a financial crash.

142 Buenos Aires, Argentina

You must be living like a king :thumbsup

i wonder how much should i spend to get laid there :helpme

:smokin

135 San José, Costa Rica

typo i guess, 120 Winston-Salem and 121 São Paulo

:smokin

just think that the average guy earn less than 300 bucks a month...
so with 4 or 5k im happy here.
but i want more and more and more :(

Hell if the average is $300 and you are making $4k provided you don't spend it in "white powders" and shit like that you must be living large :thumbsup
