Wellington: the world's 12th nicest city

A new survey published by Mercer Human Resource Consulting rates Wellington as the 12th best city to live in, based on the quality of living offered to residents. Auckland comes in a very respectable 5th, with the rest of the top 12 filled out by Zurich, Geneva, Vancouver, Vienna, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich, Bern, Sydney and Copenhagen.

American cities don't get a show-in until Honolulu gets them off the mark at 27th (much to the delight of the Canadian press, who aren't shy about pointing out their southern neighbours lower placings).

Can't say the presence of Dusseldorf and Bern in the top 10 fills us with a great deal of confidence in the accuracy of the survey, though.

#12 with a bullet
