Denmark is most expensive european country

[danmand]

While not surprising to most who live here, it is now official that Denmark is the most expensive European country to live in.

Figures from Statistics Denmark show that consumer prices were 38 percent higher in 2007 than the EU average. Ireland had the next highest consumer prices at 25 percent above the average.

One of the newest EU countries, Bulgaria, was the cheapest place to live, with average prices 53 percent below their European counterparts.

TV2 News reports that Denmark’s Nordic neighbour Iceland had consumer prices 58 percent above those of the EU average. But prices there have fallen consdierably after this year's financial crack. (kr)

Italy is the best place to live, Denmark is only the most expensive.

At least, after they got rid of the Red Brigade. Now, if we could only get rid of the Mafia and reform the Italian government system!

Take a look outside, it can't be worse.

Take a look outside, it can't be worse.

I'll take this over windy, rainy, overcast, foggy, 5C. The sun being a distant memory.
Fog for weeks so you cannot see the next building.

I like the proportional voting system and the social, health and education programs,
though. If (or when) I go broke I will go to the consulate in the Manulife building a
nd ask them to take me back.

I think visiting Italy and living there permanently are two different things...I lived there until my sixteenth birthday. The weather's nice, though.

I passed through Copenhagen in '93 during sept. I must say I got a good vibe from the place. Having read Kirkegaard, I though it would end up being as depressing as 'either/or', but it had a nice festive atmosphere. You seem to post alot of denmark-related stories...sounds to me like someone's a little homesick.

I believe it is best to let the danes themselves decide if they want walmart. So far the answer has been no.

Besty?

Hey, just trying to help. The residents of San Fran have made the same call, and they live in the most expensive city in the US... perhaps these are correlated....

I further believe that the danes would have contacted you if they needed your help.
