So that's where all my money went?
Germans I know say that "Munich is zo expensive".
I tell them that actually it's quite cheap.
They reply "ah but you are having ze madness, nein?"
"Actually", I retort, "I used to live in London".
"Ah zo", they concede, "you are having the right, Munich is cheap".
And it is. Today the Mercer list of world's buggeringly expensive cities was mentioned on the BBC's news web site.
London is the second most expensive city, just after Moscow.
Helsinki is 22nd and Munich is a pathetic 39th. That's cheaper than Glasgow, Madrid or Amsterdam.
So, I don't want to hear any complaints about the cod-accents I used above. If Germans moan about Munich being so expensive they deserve all the mocking I can be bothered to give them.
A diary based on my latest attempts to get a job; this time in Munich. I'm an engineering graduate (and chartered engineer) with more than 10 years' experience in IT. Over five of these years have been spent in team leading and project management roles both in the UK and abroad.
