COST OF LIVING IN WORLDWIDE....!


When I surf in one of the Australian website couple of days ago, I came across the list of statistical report of cost of living in various cities worldwide. Hereby, I just list out those for your view. I don't think so it is fact one, because Dubai is in 52 and Abu Dhabi 65, which supposed to be apprear in the top 20 or 30. We're spending here more than 40% of our earnings even without paying tax. Scroll down.... and read my comment at the bottom.

ADIRAMPATTINAM
(my famous home-town)

The Cost of Land is so expensive comparing to other major cities in TN & India.

DON'T SAY INDIA IS A POOR COUNTRY.
INDIANS (ADIRAINS) ARE RICH IN KNOWLEDGE & SKILL.

நாம் இறந்து மண்ணோடு மண்ணாகி மக்கப்போகும் இந்த பூமியில் நம் சடலம் புதைக்கப்பட்ட ஆறடி நிலம் கூட (ஆறு மாதங்களுக்குப் பிறகு)நமக்கு சொந்தம் இல்லை. நிலமை இவ்வாறு இருக்க, மேலும் மேலும் நிலங்களை வளைத்துப்போட எவ்வளவு போராட்டங்கள் நம் வாழ்வில் ?!
சிந்திப்பவர்கள் சிந்திக்கட்டும்....!
