World’s Most Expensive Streets (Residential)
Most Expensive phone number
The most expensive phone number 666 6666 reportedly sold for 10m Qatari riyals or £1.5m, or around $2,750,000 US. In the West some consider 6 the imperfect number, but this is apparently not the consensus in Qatar.The Register reports that the Chinese number 8888 8888 was previously the most expensive phone number, selling for £270,000 to Sichuan Airlines.
5. Avenue Montaigne, Paris - $5,046 per square foot.
Site of the French capital’s most exclusive shops, Avenue Montaigne is one third of the “Golden Triangle,” along with Avenue Champs-Elysees and Avenue Georges V (Paris’ former most expensive street).
4. Kensington Palace Gardens, London - $7,196 per square foot.
Parallel to the royal family’s Kensington Palace, this street is capped at either end by an embassy—one Russian and one Israeli—which is perfect for any security conscious billionaire. Lakshmi Mittal, a steel magnate, is apparently one such billionaire. He owns two houses in Kensington Palace Gardens, one of them being the most expensive house ever sold when he purchased it at £57 million (US $111 million) in 2004.
3. Fifth Avenue, New York City - $7,500 per square foot.
The third most expensive street in the world runs from Washington Square to Harlem and divides Manhattan’s East/West streets. It is representative of New York’s upper crust, having been rated as the most expensive shopping street in the world. In 2005, press baron Rupert Murdoch purchased one of the Plaza Apartments attached to Plaza Hotel for $44 million.
2. Severn Road, Hong Kong - $11,200 per square foot.
Hong Kong’s most expensive street lies on the top of Hong Kong Island in the city’s most affluent district, The Peak. A $38 million apartment purchased by a Chinese businessman earned this street its place on the list. The street is named after a British colonial administrator, Claud Severn, who spent 1911-1925 as Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong.
1. Avenue Princess Grace, Monaco - $17,750 per square foot.
The world’s most expensive residential street was named after former Monacan princess and iconic black and white film actress Grace Kelly. Residents of Avenue Princess Grace can expect to meet Middle Eastern elites, Russian billionaires and members of the Monacan royal family. The price was set by a $41 million, four bedroom home.
1,000,000.00 Dollar Diamond Rim
This set three-piece forged wheels from Asanti that carry a cool $1,000,000 price tag. They rival the similarly priced diamond-studded Victoria's Secret bra as the most impractical item ever to cover with expensive gems. Featuring over 12,000 diamonds and 800 sapphires totaling 1,100 carats of precious stones, these wheels roll with almost enough jewelry to satisfy Donald Trump's new wife, Melania.

A must try at Chinatown Food Street
The Chinatown Food Street offers over 20 types of local delights. Do try out local dishes like Char Kway Teow ( a noodle dish fried with fresh cockles), Carrot Cake (a steamed savoury radish cake fried with eggs and preserved vegetables) or Rojak (a refreshing local salad tossed with sweet sauced and peanuts), served from outdoor stalls like days of the old. Expect to pay an average of SGD 5 per person for a hearty meal.
When Sir Stamford Raffles allocated the area south of the Singapore River to the Chinese community in his 1828 Town Plan, swarms of immigrants from southern China came to reside in these old shop houses, eventually establishing what we now call Chinatown.
Up till today, a large part of Chinatown is still based on the layout of the 1828 Raffles Town Plan with most of the street names remaining unchanged. For many of the older Chinese, they still affectionately refer to some streets by their old nicknames, which were usually derived from the trades carried out there or the names of famous landmarks and personalities associated with that area.

As the shophouses then were small and cramped, the streets became the common area for most families. Responding to this need, street side stalls in Chinatown often served dual purposes. Products sold during the day (vegetables, meat and fish) usually differed from those sold at night (clothes and daily necessities).
Food and drink hawkers, peddlers, fortune-tellers, travelling medicine salesmen, storytellers, buskers and opera singers all contributed to the bustle of life and noise, an atmosphere we know you’ll enjoy as we revive lost traditions and forgotten practies in Chinatown.
Bugis street a must visit market
Bugis Street was once renowned internationally in the 1950s for its natorious night activities where flamboyantly dressed transvestities would parade around, attracting mainly Causasian sailors on their Rest & Relax. In those day, the entire street will come alive in the evening as push carts gather, offering a wide selection of cheap goods and hawker food, thus earning its "Pasar Malam" namesake.
Today, Bugis Street has revamped itself by having sheltered walkway and air cond shopping zones, hence improving the shopping ambience. Bugis Street now houses about 600 stalls, offering electric mix of trendy and functional fashion wear, local delicacies and fruits, hawker food and beauty services, transforming itself into the largest street shopping location in Singapore.
Possibly one of the best known areas of Singapore, Bugid Streer retains its distintive street shopping feel. The street is usually bustling with locals and tourists from all walks of life, be it meeting for coffee, shopping for trendy clothes, or just hanging out.
A cosy chill out cafe located in the middle of a fashion haven, Teenage @Bugis Cafe serves a variety of western food such as sandwiches & pastas. Our signature fish & chiops & grilled chicken will surely satisfy everybody.

NEW PROTON SATRIA NEO 2000
This is the MEM Proton Satria Neo Super 2000 Rally Car by Mellors Elliot Motorsport. The Super 2000 Rally was proposed by the FIA because of the rising costs of running World Rally Cars and competing in the World Rally Championship.
The following are the specs for a Super 2000 Rally Car:
The following are the specs for a Super 2000 Rally Car:
-3, 4 or 5-door models with length over 3900mm
-Generic 4X4 transmission without active differential from Sadev or Xtrac
-2.0 liter normally aspirated engine from either a base engine used in any model from the manufacturer, or a engine licensed from another manufacturer with 2,500 units minimum production per year
-Engine must comply to BTCC/ETC specs with 8,500rpm rev limit
-Minimum weight - 1100kg tarmac, 1150kg gravel

PETROL PRICE TO FLOAT AT MONTHLY AVERAGE RATE.
Petrol prices at the pump will be switched from its current fixed price of RM2.70 per liter to a floating amount according to the month’s average current market rates with a fixed subsidy of RM0.30 per liter. This floating amount will be capped to a maximum of RM2.70 per liter (current price), which means the 30 sen subsidy will increase to cover the higher cost of fuel if it increases over RM3.00 per liter.
The government said June 2008’s subsidy was an average of 64 sen per liter as crude oil averaged at US$132 during the month, but it has peaked at US$149 recently. According to calculations provided by the dailies based on August 1st’s crude oil price of US$128.19 per barrel of 159 liters, the price of RON97 petrol could have dropped from RM2.70 per liter to RM2.64 per liter (RM2.62 production cost based on crude oil price + transport, commission and misc cost of RM0.32 per liter - subsidy of RM0.30 per liter).
It’s time to monitor August 2008’s average monthly crude oil price closely. What we want is for average oil prices to drop to USD128 and below, then we will be able to see a nice reduction in petrol prices on the 1st of September.

NEW PROTON STINGRAY MOTORCYCLE
This is the Proton Stingray, an experiment by the Proton Prototype Centre that took 2 months. Proton says they built the Proton Stingray to enhance skills and upgrade technical knowledge, but I fail to see what car-related skills could be gained from building a motorcycle from ancient parts such as the carburetted 12 valve 1.5 liter engine they used.
The front suspension bits are telescopic shocks from the Kawasaki Vulcan 800 together with the front brakes as well, while the rear uses S45C mild steel and a ventilated disc brake from a Proton GEN2.
