The memory sometimes lingers on for the rest of one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Anastasiia-Chepinska.-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91801\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The cost of living abroad<\/strong><br>Have you ever wondered what the cost of living is in other countries and how it compares to South Africa?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the cost of living, factors such as buying power, average salary and quality of life also need to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretoria rates high when it comes to quality of life and is regarded as comparable to London and New York. Cape Town and Durban rates even better and the quality of life in these cities rates close to that of Los Angeles and Brussels. All three cities however, are among the top six cities in the world on the crime index. How does the cost of living of other countries compare with South Africa\u2019s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cardmapr.-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91873\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Out and About<\/em>: An email from Phuket<\/strong><br><em>Out and About<\/em>&nbsp;is a column where we chat with people who currently live abroad, or who used to live and work abroad.
