I'm finding it difficult to get any real info on living in Samoa.. how to get accommodation etc. I have heard that it's possible to rent an apartment in Apia but now I don't know how to find out any mor details.
Any info would be helpful about renting longterm (say 6-12 months) in Apia or anywhere on Upoulu
Thanks.. Bronwyn

My wife Karla and I have lived in American Samoa for a year now and we spend right around 3k USD per month.
We eat out 2 -3 times per month then it's usually KFC or one of a few Chinese joints.
We spend $500 per month on rent for an unfurnished house on the beach, it's just over 1 hr from Tafuna, 1/2 hr from Pago
Even though Karla is in charge of shopping I can give some current prices:
Gas $4.15 per gallon (down from $4.45)
Kerosene $5.10 per gallon
Bread $1.10 per loaf
Potatoes .79 per lb
Butter $3.48 per lb
Rice $.82 per lb
Fish $3.50 per lb
eggs $1.95 per dozen
Shirt $15.00
Bus to Pago $1.50 the last time I took one was about 4 months ago
I forget the cost of a movie it seems like it was about $7 per person.
