It's not a surprise to see for the second year in a row my homeland (Angola) in the first position. But I sure thought Paris and London were closely behind... how wrong was I ?!

London is not in the list ? That's weird, life is very expensive over there!

I spent a few years in London and in Paris, and from my personal experience I can say life is really more expensive in the British capital.

London comes in the 24th rank... Strange eh ?
Athough I understand for Swiss or Japanese cities, I had another shock when I saw Toulouse !
