Kind of knew this from my visits:

http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/10072009/389/world-s-most-expensive-fast-food.html

World's most expensive fast food
Dublin is home to Trinity College, the Guinness Storehouse and St. Stephens Green. Here, you'll also find the world's most expensive fast food. In U.S. dollars, a hamburger meal at a medium-priced establishment, as defined by consulting firm Mercer, costs a whopping $9.16.

That figure--the only to exceed $8.00 on a list of 20 geographically diverse cities selected for different cost comparisons--is $3.00 greater than the price of a hamburger meal in New York, where it's $5.99. But travelers in Europe will not find significant relief in many other cities on the continent, where the price of a fast-food meal hovers within the $7.00 range: In Amsterdam you'll pay $7.88, in Paris $7.43, and in Athens $6.66. For less pricey eats, grab a hamburger in Prague for $4.91, in Warsaw for $3.86, or in Johannesburg, which sells the cheapest burgers on the list at $2.50.

Behind The Numbers
In devising a comparative study of the cost of a fast-food hamburger meal across different cities, included in this year's Worldwide Cost of Living Survey 2009, Mercer analysts collected data from venues most frequented by expatriates in a given city. Expenses incurred from consuming food outside of the home are assigned a weight of 9.5% in the cost of living index.

Conducted twice a year by field researchers who report prices at the relevant retail outlets, Mercer's annual cost of living survey assesses differences in expenses and housing in 143 cities across six continents. The study compares the costs, in U.S. dollars, of over 200 items in each location, including housing, transportation, household goods, food and clothing. The analysis of this basket of goods and services--indicative of executive spending patterns--is designed to yield data that would help multinational companies and governmental organizations determine appropriate compensation allowances for employees sent out of the country.

"As a direct impact of the economic downturn over the last year, we have observed significant fluctuations in most of the world's currencies, which have had a profound impact on this year's ranking," said Nathalie Constantin-Métral, a senior researcher at Mercer's office in Geneva, Switzerland. The period between March 2008 and March 2009 displayed a greater degree of currency fluctuation against U.S. dollars than in the previous year, Constantin-Métral said.

The ranking of the most expensive cities in the world has shifted to reflect these fluctuations. Moscow this year fell to No. 3 from No. 1 on the list; Tokyo--which had come in second last year--took its place as the most expensive city for expatriates to live. Another Japanese city rose to the top: Osaka moved up nine spots to claim the title of second most expensive city.

If that's not enough to steer the cost-conscious from Japan, heres more. Tokyo, for example, may not have the most expensive fast-food hamburger meals at $7.04, but the city does call for the highest price when it comes to 35.3 oz. of spaghetti pasta: $9.06. Tokyo also has the second-highest cost for a liter of whole milk, at $2.58. Dublin, home to the most expensive hamburger meal, offers spaghetti at a lower cost of $3.56

Cachaça Gabriela - Organic

Cachaca Gabriela - Typical from Brazil — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 14:25:57 GMT

Cachaça Gabriela - Organic

Cachaça Gabriela is my name. Explaining: cachaça is the same of spirit, schnaps, eau de vie. That's a brazilian name for the spirit made from the sugar cane juice. Typical from Brazil.

But, I'm better than the cachaças I know you already know: I'm organic and artisan made.
That means that we follow the principles to being totally integrated with the environment. Plants are grown without any kind of chemical products giving the sugar cane full organic status. And the way I am produced is really similar to an art: we have to have patience and wait for my right time to drink: at least one year I rest at brazilian's wood barrels: jequitibá-rosa, amburana, bálsamo, amendoim.

Tyrrelstown from the airport

SnapesMistress — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 17:39:44 GMT

I understand that Tyrrelstown is about 10 mins from the airport-
Is there public transport direct, or would I have to go to the city center and then out to Tyrrelstown?
Would it be better just to take a cab?

Dublin for 3 days!

gregmaldonado — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 03:17:00 GMT

So I'm flying in from San Francisco for the European Juggling Convention near Cork... and I've planed a few days in Dublin, 6th through the 9th. What should a juggler and fire spinner... lover of art and herb and the urban landscape... and his similarly minded partner do in Dublin for 3 days and nights? We'd love to meet some locals to help us make the most of our short stay!

Moving to Dublin, maybe

jessica — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 21:43:05 GMT

My husband was recently offered a job at Trinity College Dublin, but we aren't quite sure he'll take the job. We hear the school is good, but we also hear that the cost of living in Dublin is sky-high (we are coming from Las Vegas, NV, US). We wouldn't mind living in the country (we have a large dog). Does anyone have any pointers on finding a place around a train line that is out in the country? Also, is it difficult for Americans to find work there? While my husband has a job, but I understand that I do not automatically get a work visa just because he does. I am in the Web industry.

Punjab — Mon, 13 Mar 2006 03:23:01 GMT

Hawaii… Fire spinning capital of the world… Big Island… Hot tub ponds heated by thermal vents… Black Sand Beaches… LAVA… REAL LAVA! And a Burning Man regional event.

I’ve tried to figure out how to reduce costs as much as possible for everyone coming over from the mainland (if you can think of anyother suggestions please post):

Weather?

mbamike — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:30:27 GMT

Hi.

I'm moving to Dublin next month- specifically to Blackrock.

I was wondering what the weather is like in Dublin during the most of the year. Ireland is famous for being cold and rainy, but I saw a chart, and Dublin doesn't really get much more rain that my current city (Toronto, Canada).

Anyways- I'm wondering what kind of weather I can expect. Is it always grey and lightly raining, or are there lots of days of sun interspersed with days of heavy percipitation?
Is there always a cold wind coming off the sea?

Are there any great running trails you suggest?

Alternative Sexuality in Ireland

unsubscribed_user — Wed, 10 Nov 2004 18:17:09 GMT

Hi everyone,

Can anyone here tell me what clubs, groups, and online resources are available for people in Ireland (Dublin specifically) who are interested in alternative sexuality (i.e. non-monogamy, BSDM).

There's a workshop I'm considering bringing to Ireland that may be of interest to these types of people.

You may post your responses to this list or in a message to me privately. Thanks!
