I've always fancied a trip to Canada but after reading this article on the Beeb website the other day, there's no way I could afford.
BBC News - Who, What, Why: Why does a cabbage cost $28 in Canada?
Would you pay C$28 (US$27; £18) for a cabbage? $65 for a bag of chicken? $100 for 12 litres of water? That's not the cost of a meal at a world-class restaurant, but the price of basic foodstuffs at supermarkets in the territory of Nunavut, in northern Canada.
