World’s Most Expensive Cities – 2010

The LA Times recently published a feature story highlighting the ten most expensive cities in the world. Here’s the top 10 list:

1. Luanda, Angola
2. Tokyo
3. N’Djamena, Chad
4. Moscow
5. Geneva
6. Osaka
7. Libreville, Gabon
8. Zürich
9. Hong Kong
10. Copenhagen

I was surprised to see three African cities on the top-10 list, including #1 and #3, but having never been to Angola, Chad, or Gabon I cannot intelligently comment on the editor’s choices. I am surprised that Easter Island or Bora Bora did not make the list.
