[lbo-talk] Cost of living in Moscow

[Grant Lee]

These liveability surveys always throw up head scratchers. The Economist
last year gave Melbourne the edge over other Australian cities because of
its.....weather. This was hysterically funny to non-Melburnian Aussies,
among whom Melbourne is famous for having "four seasons in one day", grey,
wet and windy winters and blistering summer days, including occasional dust
storms. Maybe it wouldn't seem so bad if you were used to London ;-)

Yeah, bills are pretty much an alien concept here. I think the protests have
more to do with the shock of the new than any impact it will make on
anyone's pocketbook. (Although maybe to a pensioner...)

I don't get these expat cost-of-living-in-Moscow reports. They must be
focussing on people who rent limos or something. I could eat out every
evening and that would cost me maybe $300 a month. (You know at what place!)

is not cheap here.
