World's Most Expensive Cities, 2007 : Can you Afford It?

[snicksnack]

Wonder why these are expensive?
24 Douala, Cameroon
30 Almaty, Kazakhstan
33 Dakar, Senegal
37 Lagos, Nigeria
38 Istanbul, Turkey
41 Birmingham, United Kingdom
50 Algiers, Algeria

I guess you have never been there. Douala for example is bloody expensive. A local beer in a "night club" cost $10, but the night club is close to what you would consider a dumbster. The Hilton in Yaounde is like $250 a night and would have like 1 star on an international basis. If you go to 3rd world countries, the cost of western life is higher than anywhere else. Trust me, been there done that.

Whoever thinks he/she lives in the best city on earth hasn't been to Moscow.
If you are rich in NYC, you are poor in Moscow.
Moscow is the most expensive city on earth for a number of years now.
Realize it.
