Traveling to certain countries can put a nice dent in your wallet, but how about living in them?
ECA International, a global management consulting firm, just came out with its semiannual cost of living survey, which calculates the cost of living based on prices of various day-to-day goods and services.
Tokyo has always claimed the number one spot as the most expensive city for expatriates to live, but this year, for the first time in three years, it was outranked by another.
All prices are reflected in U.S. dollars.
Just as a reference, Manhattan placed 43rd, the highest of any U.S. city.
