Let's create a BnA World City Cost Index for Travelers

The home for BootsnAll.com members - talk with other travelers, ask questions that don't fit anywhere else and learn more about the BnA community.

I tried to put in Hiroshima and was thinking of trying to put in a few more places, but think I used an outdated version and had a bit of a struggle with -- where should new cities be put?

I'll add Oslo if you'd like. A quick recap of items in the basket or where to find it would be appreciated.

Sorry folks for the late response.

You can get the latest spreadsheet at http://www.dietpizza.ch/stuff/bna-wccit-v9.xls

The basket of goods has been fixed since last fall. When you send me the filled out spreadsheet, I'll just merge it with what we have so far. If you need something painfully simple then, by all means, just let me know via PM and I'll send you a message with plain text descriptions of the basket and be your personal data entry clerk. Smile No problem!

More cities, regardless where, are cool!

Hi Stoo,
you don't have to be a personal data entry clerk (hopefully), but there are many lists in the early posts and not so easy to see which one ended up being the basket decided on. So I just need a list of items in the basket or even a link to the post with the final list.

Oh, if you download the latest spreadsheet (two posts up) then you can see the basket with descriptions (and all the other cities' costs). Smile Just overwrite an existing city and email to me at bna@dietpizza.ch and I'll sort the rest out.

Hi Stoo. I can do Melbourne if you like, unless that is somebody else is doing it?


Have a nice day, Whistler.

Except in China. I have been in a few hostels that didn't supply toilet paper. It's annoying to have to remember to bring your own...haha

I would keep it on the list. Just my thoughts

Yes, is the list somewhere here? I had suggested it before and it seems like exactly the kind of tool needed around here.

The links are in this thread, but my webserver is down at the moment...I am tinkering. It'll be back up soon enough.
