Prices
One of the things that is interesting, although difficult to make final comparisons on, is prices between the US and Russia. Here are a couple I have made today.
Item | US | Russia |
New iPad 32 Gb 4G | $729 | $1100 |
Samsung Galaxy S III (unlocked, no contract) | $800 | $1000 |
Jack Daniel's Old No. 7, 750 ml | $30 | $56 |
That selection of items doubtless seems odd, but these are things I've given as gifts or considered giving as gifts.
Other things are much cheaper in Russia. For instance, unlimited internet on your iPad 3 you can get for about $8/month. Phone service is cheaper. Some food products are cheaper.
