Seoul the 7th Most Expensive Capitol City to Live In
So says this survey:
South Korea’s capital city, Seoul, ranks as the seventh most expensive city in the world to live in this year, a survey showed Saturday.
Korea Times
The Worldwide Cost of Living (WCL) Survey, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), measures the prices of more than 150 items in 133 cities across the globe, with the index for New York set as a benchmark of 100.
According to the latest WCL poll, Seoul ranked seventh, on a par with New York, down one notch from the previous survey.
Singapore, Paris and Hong Kong are the joint most expensive cities in the world with an index of 107, followed by Zurich of Switzerland with 106, and its sister Geneva and Japan’s Osaka coming next with 101 each.

Seoul is the only large city I’ve seen where policemen occasionally direct traffic with empty holsters.
If things get back to normal (i.e., Japanese are welcomed as tourists only, Norks are semi-ignored but never praised), it could be fun to live there again…
Will be more expensive under the Fatty Regime.
J6, under the Fatty Regime, Seoul won’t be the capital anymore.
