Expensive Oslo

I am going to get 10% less in Oslo than I do here in NYC. The Swiss financial services group UBS has recently named Oslo the top dog for the most expensive city in the world. They used more then a 100 common goods and services to arrive at that conclusion. The jump up according to an article in the Guardian is due to the power of the Krone, Norway’s unit of currency.

At the bottom of the list of seventy cities is Mumbai in India. Just above that sits Buenos Aires, which until three years ago was the most expensive city in South America. Looks like I’ll be packing more than I thought for my up coming trip!
