28.6.06the world's most expensive cities
tokyo, which has ranked as the world's most expensive city for the last four years, has lost this infamous distinction to moscow, where a two-bedroom flat would cost you US$3,000, a served cup of coffee 5,27, an international newspaper 3,40 and a burger and chips 3,87. ouch! a weakened yen places tokyo in third place just behind seoul.
london, meanwhile, still makes a pricey showing at number 5, making it the most expensive city in europe, followed by geneva, which ranks 7 worldwide.
here's the top twenty:
1. Moscow 2. Seoul 3. Tokyo 4. Hong Kong 5. London 6. Osaka 7. Geneva 8. Copenhagen 9. Zurich 10. Oslo 11.New York
