Quoting mltm: Oh, my city, Lyon, is just above my home city Istanbul in the 28th place. From which market in İstanbul did they fill the basket, for me Lyon is much more expensive. |
I would also think so!

Actually that list does not seem very accurate based on what I know about US cities.
Here´s another one for the US.
Priciest places in the US
Although they say NYC is pricier than SF, I can say for a fact that SF is more expensive. The reason is because the public transportation is so bad, you have to have a car in the SF area to get around. I moved from NY to SF and my cost of living went up a tleast 400 %

But there is a 25% differential in CA for salary compensation. So even though the cost of living is high, employers pay at least 25% more. I still think all of CA is extremely high.

I would love to say ´make it 3´ but I still can´t sit 8 hours. However, business class will do fine too, Elisabeth....

No way! Tourist class means sitting, which I can´t too long at a time right now yet but in business class I can lay on my back. I´ll wave to you, ok?
