Are you having a hard time making ends meet? If you are, then it is very likely that you might be living in one of the most expensive countries in the world.
The following nations have been ranked according to their consumer price index, which is a relative indicator used to estimate prices of consumer goods like groceries, transportation, and restaurants, but excluding accommodations expenses such as mortgage or rents.
I love a good smart joke, even if they sometimes take me a minute to figure out. Here’s my favorite 20:
  1. It’s hard to take kleptomaniacs and puns seriously. Why? They take things literally.
  2. What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
Who would have thought you could learn so much about yourself based on your finger length? Above you’ll see three different hands labeled A, B, and C. With each one, the ring, middle and index finger are different (or sometimes the same) lengths. Put your left hand up and find the one that most closely matches you.
A) The charming but pragmatic one.


This one is me! People who have a ring finger longer than the index finger tend to be charming and irresistible to some at least. A’s are the ones who can talk themselves out of just about any situation. Additionally, they’re aggressive and excellent problem solvers. They tend to be incredibly compassionate and are often scientists, engineers, soldiers, and crossword puzzle masters.
B) The confident, get-it-done type.
Britain is one of the most racially tolerant countries on the planet, a survey claims.
The global social attitudes study claims that the most racially intolerant populations are all in the developing world, with Jordan and India in the top five.
By contrast, the study of 80 countries over three decades found Western countries were most accepting of other cultures with Britain, the U.S., Canada and Australia more tolerant than anywhere else.

The data came from the World Value Survey, which measured the social attitudes of people in different countries, as reported by the Washington Post.
The survey asked individuals what types of people they would refuse to live next to, and counted how many chose the option 'people of a different race' as a percentage for each country.
Researchers have suggested that societies where more people do not want neighbours from other races can be considered less racially tolerant.
stereotypes2 Stereotypes: how foreigners see the British
Quite old-fashioned stereotypes aren’t they? Some may be true, some are ludicrous indeed. If I’m positive that never in a billion years would the typical British refuse a drink and generally wouldn’t care about what people think of their attire, (positive trait if compared to the Italian overly obsession for image, clothes and good looks), I must object they are fairly good travelers and I met more than a few speaking at least one additional language other than English. Most important, some British people I know decided to move to warmer countries, leave the UK to relocate to Australia/New Zeland or simply left their comfort zone to travel without deadline. Blame the European crisis, the impossible cost of housing or simply the British weather, they are becoming top travellers.
A survey voted on by Americans has picked out British men and Colombian women as the world’s sexiest, with the top 10 nations on each list dominated by Europe and South America.
If you can't keep up with the times, your hairstyle might quickly become outdated.
A handy graphic such as the one below will ensure that doesn't happen. Our friends at Hairstyleonpoint created it to illustrate the prevailing trendy haircuts — and what separates one from another.
Whether the long-haired man bun or the close-cropped style of the fade, one of these six hairstyles are sure to fit any man's personality.
Alcohol circles in Europe

As most of our stories do, this began as an argument. Liz was espousing the virtues of Georgian food, which I had summarily dismissed, and then, during the following geeky discussion of random countries' cuisines, we began to wonder how each part of Europe stacked up against the others.
And so we dug into the countries (between us, we’ve visited 39 of 48 on the list) and came up with rules: the biggest factor had to be the indigenous cuisine (in other words, Ireland doesn’t get extra credit just because Dublin has a spectacular Indian restaurant), the food and drink culture within its cities and towns, and the variety that exists within each place. Sure, some countries may cook up one thing extraordinarily well, but what else can they do? As my Grandfather used to say, just because you can juggle doesn’t mean you can dance. Gastronomically speaking, we want the places that can juggle AND dance. And maybe cook too.
As with anything that exists on the Internet, we will have missed some dishes or failed to point out a key component in blood soup or made horrible Hungary puns. And we apologize and trust you will keep us honest in the comments. But until then, strap in, because you are about to go on a whirlwind culinary tour. Maybe try and avoid the scurvy grass.
