What does it cost.....?

Hi HyperKeez,

I am supposed to go to the hypermarket to-morrow as every week, so I'll have a look at the baby things.

I suggest you read the post I wrote some time ago for a NZ guy

You can also read Zazoo's yesterday post (23:55:17)

It's in French, but you know you have to understand a little bit French if you plan to live here.

Some prices :
a home to rent : 150 000 / 200 000 FCP /month
grocery & food market (3 people) : 150 000 FCP /month
a small new car : 1 200 000 FCFP
a 4x4 car : 2 500 000 FCFP
electricity, water, phone, Internet, rubbish service : 30 000 FCP /month
100 000 FCP = 1 250 US$ = 8 150 MMK

In which field of activity do you plan to work in NC ?

See you

Hi Pisolahy,

Thank you sooo much for going to all that troubl. It's not as expensive as I thought it would be.

We are with the Koniambo project in Gomen.

Many thanks,
Kerry.

Hi HyperKezz,

No trouble !

I just had to ask an English speaking lady with a baby to know the (Aussie ?) name for an one-piece outfit (my sons are so old now) !

Have a look at an old post of mine :
