>>the cost of bread, milk and meat is the same in Canada, USA, UK, Germany, Russia and Bulgaria. This is because of globalisation. Bulgaria import veal from USA and Agentina because it is cheaper than produced here.
>>The only difference is HOW MUCH EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD TO BUY with earned salary. This creates standard of living.

>I'm quite sure that you are wrong about this, Jordan. You are saying that a loaf of bread in Russia costs the same as in Canada??? A litre of gas in Iraq costs the same as in U.S.??? Rent for housing or business is the same price all over the world??? I think you better look again.

Jim is right. I travelled Taiwan and Uzbekistan, and saw.

You can ride with taxi at Uzbekistan 1USD (for foreigners :), an expensive price ), in Turkey you can only one time ride with city bus at that price. I ate dinner with listening a band in a luxury restaurant at Uzbekistan for 20USD, some in Turkey at least 200USD, I'm sure in Canada must 1000USD.


I see Uzbekistan cheap for Turkish and Turkey cheap for West Europeans. However even prices so different country by country, west country citizens have more buy-power. Prices high but salaries high too...
