What is the most photographed place in the U.S.?



Surprise: the Guggenheim building in New York...
Photos have always told stories, but in today's world of cell phone cameras and social media, that story is relayed as data to companies who monitor everything we do.
Geotagged data was culled by Sightsmap using a Google-based image sharing software, and can show us the most photographed places in the world, right down to this landmark. The strange winner is this building in New York City. Guess it impresses a lot of visitors.

Mumbai, India ....
At the other end of the spectrum, Mumbai, India, is the cheapest place to live in the world,
according to the Worldwide Cost of Living Index, 2014.
For some comparison, a loaf of bread that would cost $3.36 in Singapore,
would only cost $0.91 in Mumbai. A lot of poverty brings the cost of living down.
