What does it cost.....?
Hello!
I am wondering if you could share with me the cost of living in New Caledonia?
Some things I am curios about are;
* Baby formula
* Nappies
* Childrens clothes
* Groceries - per month,
* Doctors visits
* Schooling
* Energy prices (oil, electricity)
* Common bills (Internet, TV, phone, mobile phone)
* Eating in a restaurant
> price a coffee in a cafe
> price of the cinema (is there one in New Cal?)
Many thanks for your help on this!

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
Pisolahy

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,

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 :
