The Economist Intelligence Unit have just released their biannual report on the most expensive cities in the world to live. And the winner is: Oslo, Norway. Apparently it’s the first time Tokyo hasn’t topped the poll. Paris is the 4th most expensive city with London in 7th position. What surprised me was that New York, the most expensive city in the US according to the survey, is only 27th in the list! I thought it would have been a lot higher up.

I’m surprised Hong Kong didn’t make the top ten. Guess they never recovered from the economic crash.
It is surprising that London has dropped to 7th, you wouldn’t know it if you lived here. As for New York, rent control really helps keep the city down the league. They are also partial to cheap food (and enormous portions!)
