The price of food may be rough here in the U.S., but Bloomberg Businessweek's "World's Most Expensive Cities 2011" list indicates that our luck isn't the worst in the lot. The list compares the cost of purchasing goods in other global cities in U.S. dollars. Tokyo is the city that topped the list: a dozen eggs costs the equivalent of $4.50, while a movie theater ticket tops out at $23.80 and a beer at a bar will set you back $10.56.
Other budget-busting cities named in Bloomberg Businessweek's "World's Most Expensive Cities 2011" list include Oslo, Norway; Nagoya, Japan; Zurich, Switzerland; Luanda, Angola; and Stavanger, Norway. In Oslo, expect to pay a whopping $8.50 for a dozen eggs. In Nagoya, you'll spend $11.37 on average for a beer at a bar; head to Stavanger, and that beer will cost $12.83. A fast lunch in Zurich will cost you about $32.90 -- a paltry sum compared to the $52.40 you'll spend on the same meal in Luanda.
Does this list make you second-guess your upcoming travel plans?
