Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) makes this list every half year. Over 100 factors helps in the list come through. Everything from soap, cars, diners, cafès, resturants, houses, etc

1. Oslo - Norway - 140

2. Tokyo - Japan - 136

3. Reykjavik - Island - 135

4. Osaka Kobe - Japan - 130

4. Paris - France - 130

6. København - Denmark - 127

7. London - England - 125

8. Zürich - Switzerland - 123

9. Geneva - Switzerland - 116

10. Helsinki - Finland - 115

27. New York - USA -

35. Chicago - USA -

Unfortunaly I cant find the whole list.

I knew that Japan and norway are very expensive countries but i don't understand how Zurich can be less expansive than paris.

Well it's a strange list anyways. Where are the Dutch cities?

i'm happy that Greece is not in that list. I don't know why, but greeks don't appreciate fast food that much, and when it comes to fast food, people prefer other brands (greek or not). BTW, 2.49 dollars for a hamburger is way too much...

too bad for your stomach. You should try a little bit of greek souvlaki, but i suggest you leave all those things and switch to greek musaka, pastitsio, giouverlakia, and all the other tasty foods.

BTW, i spend too much money in food, because i really enjoy it. Many nights i go with dad to a restaurant, since he appreciates food even more than me. But i'm still in a very good shape!
