For less than £3 per day-pass or for £42 a month for a bus card, you can get anywhere in Edinburgh and the surrounding small towns in Edinburgh. As many trips as you like using those passes, too.

You'll have to pay through the roof for anything in London, but on the flipside, they'll pay you more just because you live there and no other reason alone (which is a joke, I do the same job and earn less, wtf?).

France may rank high as a country, but Paris actually doesn't rank that highly as a city. Going by Mercer, it's #33 for 2009. But that's not surprising that the country of France is up there, I suppose - I always figured that, Paris excepted, France would be a pretty nice place to live.
