food for thought:: where to live

im not much of a "numbers" kinda gal so i won't even pretend to sound intelligent here. but i find the ranking of expensive cities based on cost of living fascinating. (more info from their website) from a personal point of view, it intrigues me cos it puts things in perspective. of course, we use the infomation to analyze the cities we want to live in.

needless to say, it was jaw-droppingly expensive when we first moved to tokyo (ranked #2)...

from phnom penh???

and poor little cambodia doesn't even make it on the list!!

firstly, im very relieved that im not the alone in the "$4 for an apple is wayyy overpriced!!" camp. 

but someone should tell daniel that we might save a little more if we move to NYC! :)
