The maximum price of the 10 Asian cities released--Singapore,No9

Singapore: The recent sales tax increase (from the previous 5% to 7% growth) led to the foreigners in the city-state cost of living increase. However, Singapore's prices are still more than his rivals lower in Hong Kong and the Government is eager to shake off the image of the past: a beautiful but very boring city. The government plan is the outcome of this bizarre Esplanade Museum of Art (figure), opened in 2002.
A movie ticket: 5.78 U.S. dollars
Fast-food meal: 11.44 U.S. dollars
A washing machine: 427.13 U.S. dollars
One kilogram of rice: 1.61 U.S. dollars
A can of drink: 0.81 U.S. dollars

新加坡:最近销售税的提高(从以前的5%增长到了7%)导致外国人在这个城市型国家的生活成本增加。但是新加坡的物价仍然比他的竞争对手香港要低,并且政府正急于摆脱以前的形象:一个漂亮可是很枯燥的城市。政府这一计划的成果是这座奇形怪状的Esplanade艺术馆(如图),于2002年开放。
一张电影票:5.78美元
一顿快餐:11.44美元
一台洗衣机:427.13美元
一公斤大米:1.61美元
一罐饮料:0.81美元
