Hooray for no car!!!

Whoa!! I was talking to my boss today, who happens to be in US for the next 2 weeks attending 2 graduations... he called me as he was driving to his destination and I asked him how he liked our gas prices and his response was "it's cheap!!!" He continues on with how he just bought a Prius, and it is the best investment he's ever made. Apparently gas prices in Hong Kong are at around $8 USD per gallon, that's more than double what we pay here!! At first I was sad because I'm going to be moving to HK, but then I remembered I'm not going to have a car, which is one of the pluses with living in HK! HOORAY!!!

Most of us here in the States don't know this, but our prices are actually lower than a lot of other countries out there, such as most of Europe and parts of Asia. However, there are still quite a few countries out there where gas prices cost less than here in the States, the question is whether you would want to move there? Venezuela anyone???
