TADIOTO

So Seoul is number 3 on the list. Ahead of Tokyo, at number 4!?
How can that be?! I’m still paying for the cup of coffee I had there two years ago.

Hong Kong claims the 5^th spot. Osaka is number 8, Singapore 14, Beijing’s way down at 20.
Shanghai’s even lower, at 26. Taipei is ranked 48. 
Paris is unlucky number 13, New York’s 15.
And London, which should be number 1, is number 2. I’m still paying for the air I breathed there last summer.
Moscow outdid them all by being at the very top. Number 1.
All this is from the latest Cost of Living Survey from Mercer Human Resource Consulting, issued 18^th of June, 2007. It includes the 50 cities that take the most out of you’s wallet.
Bringing up the rear is Algiers.  
San Francisco and Ha Noi, you don’t count.
Oh, all right. We’ll mention Los Angeles. Number 42, unless you live in Angelina’s house.
