Oslo replaces Tokyo as "World's Most Expensive City". True story: my dad visited me when I lived in Oslo. We were walking past a shop near Aker Brygge when he asked me to translate a sign. "Three suits for ninety dollars", I said, estimating the currency conversion. "That ain't a bad price", he responded, "so maybe I should get some while I'm here." I had the last word: "Dad, that isn't a clothing store. It's a dry cleaner"
