In 2009 Cost of living survey of the world’s most expensive cities global human resources firm ECA International finishes that of the five priciest, four of them are in Japan, with Tokyo organism the toughest on the wallet. But Tokyo is set second place in all over the world. So I am happy I don’t live in Tokyo or Geneva Switzerland because those places would really hurt my wallet and put a dent in my bank account.

What Eca did to stop working a container of 125 goods and services in 370 countries worldwide, and compared them with what the similar costs would be against major world currencies. They perform this Survey to give in international companies with price list information for their employees living abroad.

Some things cost are more in some countries than others countries. In Luanda Soda averages price only $1.30, In Tokyo it costs $1.75 but in Copenhagen it costs an eye-popping $2.12. A Quick Lunch Price is the Highest in Luanda city in all over the World.

Why are these Countries so expensive? It has mainly to do with high costs for shipping, fuel and volatile exchange rates.
