stats on the cost of living in Africa

ERI Cost of Living Calculator Report: "Selected Location: Windhoek, Namibia
Student Cost of Living for Consumables as a percentage of the U.S. National Norm: 112% "

What a neat little internet tool! Here are some other stats:

Selected Location: Oshakati, Namibia
Student Cost of Living for Consumables as a percentage of the U.S. National Norm: 100%

Selected Location: Accra, Ghana (where Paul & Ali are going)
Student Cost of Living for Consumables as a percentage of the U.S. National Norm: 134%

Selected Location: Yaounde, Cameroon (where Rob & I had considered going)
Student Cost of Living for Consumables as a percentage of the U.S. National Norm: 150%"

Wow ... that Cameroon figure was a bit of a surprise for me. I has assumed it would be cheaper. Hmmm. I guess that's why there are experts who tabulate things for the uninformed.
