This is pretty cool. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/3109042/The-Atlas-of-the-Real-World.html)

Here's one of the 18 as an example.

Housing prices
The size of each territory shows the total value of all housing, adjusted for local purchasing power.
Western Europe contains the most expensive housing, while Africa and South Asia has the cheapest, even after allowing for the fact that money goes further here.

that is cool

i like how they use the colors from purple down to red

there are a lot of poorer people in asia but for those who live rich in asia they really live in luxury

asian lux is in a class by itself

the classiest hotel i ever stayed at was the peninsula in hong kong

zomg it was amazing

i want to be rich enough to be able to go live there and be spoiled

sigh

All of Asia is yellow except Japan... It's in red, you wouldn't believe how much I pay for rent per month.
