Moscow is the world’s most expensive city for expatriates for the second consecutive year, according to the latest Cost of Living Survey from Mercer Human Resource Consulting. London is in second position, climbing three places since last year. Seoul moves down one place in the ranking to take third place, followed by Tokyo in fourth. Asuncion in Paraguay is the least expensive city for the fifth year running.
With New York as the base city scoring 100 points, Moscow scores 134.4 and is over two-and-a-half times costlier than Asuncion, which has an index of 50. Even so, the gap between the world’s most and least expensive cities appears to be narrowing.
Mercer’s survey covers 143 cities* across six continents and measures the comparative cost of over 200 items in each location, including housing, transport, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment. It is the world’s most comprehensive cost of living survey and is used to help multinational companies and governments determine compensation allowances for their expatriate employees.

can roughly roughly translate the lyrics of this song
my favorite jpop song

夏の色に憧れてた フツウの毎日
流されたり 逆らったり続く細い道
君と巡り合って もう一度サナギになった
嘘と本当の狭間で 消えかけた僕が
思い出からツギハギした 悲しいダイアリー
カギもかけず 旅立つのは 少し怖いけど
丘の上に立って 大きく風を吸い込んで
今 心から言えるよ ニオイそうな I love you
すぐに飛べそうな気がした背中
夢から醒めない翼
時の余白 塗り潰した あくびの後で
「幸せ」とか 野暮な言葉 胸に抱いたままで
崩れそうな未来を 裸足で駆け抜けるような
そんな裏ワザも無いけど 明日にはきっと…
僕らそれぞれ 仰ぎ見る空
夢から醒めない翼
飛べそうな気がした背中
夢から醒めない翼
それぞれ 仰ぎ見る空
夢から醒めない翼
遠い 遠い 遥かな場所へ
