The Pound: Not Going A Long Way

Further to the post below, here's a list of cities that you might have to cross off. Yeah, I may live in wildly overpriced London, but at least I don't live in Osaka. And hands up if you've ever thought about living in 'Douala, Cameroon', the 22nd most expensive city in the world (!)

[Offhand, if I could recommend a neat place to live, it would probably be in Latin America -- great people, great weather, cheap (according to this study), easy-going and fun times. Selectivity is key, of course -- ie., I'd take Rio over Managua.]
