The price of a pint of beer can be quite different depending on the city you’re in.
Working abroad as an expat seems to get more popular every year. The demand for specific skills makes large cities around the world lure foreigners with good salaries and other benefits people won’t receive in their own country. And of course for the adventurers there’s the romantic picture of working and living in a new and exciting culture. But how do you choose the right place to become an expat? Luckily Deutsche Bank has been mapping how much things cost in 50 major cities around the world. Their latest report: the price of a pint of beer in a neighbourhood pub in the expat area of the city. As it turns out Manila and Prague are excellent destinations for beer loving expats, where Dubai and Oslo are just dreadful places.
