Top das cidades mais caras do mundo

[Kaizen]

Para mim o primeiro lugar foi uma surpresa.

Denomidador comum ás cidades mais caras... são as marcas japonesas que dominam o mercado :p

With the yen on the rise, four Japanese cities leaped into the top five from positions ranging from 13 to 29 in 2008. Meanwhile, the capital of Angola (Luanda, pictured above) retained its position from last year as most expensive. By the way, I would also suggest you avoid visiting any of these cities in the top five, unless you're ready to dish out nearly $20 to see a flick.



Believe it or not, from the United States only Manhattan and Honolulu made the list. So Americans can at least breathe a sigh of relief that things could be much, much worse. After all, many of us still take advantage of the fact we have washing machines in our homes.
