Worldwide Cost of Living Index 2013 List

 4th January, 2013, the Economist Intelligence Unit released an annual list of the most expensive cities for living "Worldwide Cost of Living Index 2013". This year's number one spot is taken by Tokyo where I'm living and my home Osaka takes number two spot. Tokyo regains its number one spot, actually in these 20 years only three cities seized the number one spot. Wow, Japan's cities get 1-2-finished. Thinking about Zurich, Switzerland, which last year's number one, the government controversially intervening its exchange makes its own civilian's living cheaper. At that point, the government has made good decision for the people and I think that's what a government should do, whether they'd been called "Western China" or not. On the contrary, Japanese government... Anyway, following is the top ten list and the opposite side, the least expensive, top ten cities.
