IIRC, the basket of goods for this index skews toward what a transient executive might expect to buy, not what an average or not so average person might expect to buy.
That makes it very similar to the other one done by Mecier (sp?), then.

I stayed at Bergen for a couple days, and it was obscenely expensive. A bottle of water would cost three euros...

Norwegians are the people who go to Sweden to buy "cheap" alcohol. Nuff said.
I'm surprised that Helsinki apparently beats Stockholm. I suppose it might be due to the price controls on housing.

I'm not familiar with that index, but there are a couple of this type. I think one of the consultancies puts out a similar index, and maybe that's the one to which you are referring.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Doesn't European water give diarrhea? Eric the Red's Revenge? Or am I thinking of somewhere else... I dunno, all foreign countries are the same and not to be trusted.

That's why you're supposed to drink beer when visiting Europe.

No, you're thinking of Mexico. Drinking European water makes you a pansy-assed commie.

I've, for one, found that if you know where to go and what places to eat at, you can eat better quality food for cheaper in London than lots of other places in the UK. Its certainly cheaper and more varied to eat out in London than Norwich.
But accommodation eats up a lot, and is *vastly* more expensive in London than in Paris.

The equivalent of three euros. I'm not going to remember some irrelevent country's exchange rate. Why the hell would Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway all have different currencies (probably Finland too)? Annoying bastards.
And beer was even more expensive.
Prague OTOH was dirt cheap.
