The 3rd most expensive city...IN THE WORLD!!
Thats right, thats where we live. We don't REALLY live inside Copenhagen, but the town we live is one of the more expensive areas to live in and we still basically live in greater Copenhagen.
I always know that Copenhagen comes out pretty high on the list every year, last year it was 6th, but this year jumped up to 3rd right behind Oslo and Paris. While it doesn't surprise me, because I know it is expensive, I was surprised to see in coming in front of London, which came in 4th. With this information, I know Michael and I can live anywhere in the world (besides Oslo and Paris) and the cost of living won't feel as inflated as it would prior to us living here. New York didn't even show up till number 28!!!
My summery so far, Copenhagen is dark, cold, expensive and they take all your money from you in taxes, yet somehow, we still love it and are happy here. Along with the majority of the country... as Denmark this past year was ranked as the worlds happiest country!!

Michael has been back a whole week now. He is recovered and doing well. I got my haircut this morning, and while it was by far the most expensive haircut I have ever had (again things are $$$ here)...I must say, it is by far the BEST haircut I have ever gotten!! They even gave me a cup of coffee to drink while it was being cut! So that alone was worth the extra money ;) Actually I think most places you get your haircut at here, they give you coffee/tea/cappuccino or whatever. I think thats cool. Other then all that, nothing terribly exciting going on. Just livin' life and enjoy it... :)

Oh, yea! I was so happy to see that you were writing again. It is great that you love where you are living. That makes life wonderful. Have a great week end. We are all set to leave for Vegas, and we hope that we will be able to Skype you with our new laptop. Hugs to you both, Sharon
In December I had my most expensive hair cut/color ever: 1500 kr.!!! (Is that still in the area of $200? I haven't kept up with the exchange rates.) And it wasn't all that different after!
I need to find a hair dresser a little further from the city center.
We would have liked to live in Copenhagen, if it wasn't so expensive to buy or rent a home. I hadn't heard that Copenhagen is now the 3rd most expensive city but I'm not all that surprised.
WoW!!! We dont feel so bad about Orlando now heh...
