The latest report from Mercer:
Quite a surprise as I would expect Beijing or Sanghai to be in the list. Oh, I did not know that Angola is so expensive too.

MY GEAR
I thought it would be a good idea to share what camera gear I use. I use a Canon EOS500D with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom lens and EF 50mm f/1.8II.
Sometimes, I use a Canon Powershot S100 which tucks neatly into my pocket.
I use a MacBook,iPad 2 and iPhone 5.
I was amazed that out of the top ten list of most expensive cities in the world, 5 of them are actually situated in the Asian continent. And not a single one located in the United States or in the European Union. Angola is probably there due to high levels of inflation in Africa, but I did not expect such result from Tokyo. We are given the impression that items manufactured in Asia are done using cheap labour as the wage rates are lower than Europe or the USA. But it seems the prices in Asia do not reflect such perception. I always wished to visit Asia, and hope to have the opportunity in the coming years.

At some point in our lives we all have the huge task of buying or renting our first home. It's a stressful time however it becomes a challenge that we want to make our own, by allowing our personalities to shine through in the decor we choose for that home.
