...and this is why I am leaving Oslo next summer!! Looks like Dublin is getting more expensive since the last time I lived there though, maybe I'll move to Prague?
Yes, Oslo is so expensive it's ridiculous - but we have the salaries to match...

I am shocked that Maysville Kentucky didn't make the list with it'shigh rent and outragous fuel prices....

I pay $250US for my 1200sqft apartment overlooking the Ohio river and our $3.86/galUS gas prices.... it is killing me.
