Hi, we are a family of 4 with 2 young sons (4 and 6), We will be moving to PP soon. I am looking for information about the general cost of living. We will have housing, insurance and education covered. Mostly I am wondering about the cost of utilities, fun things to do with the kids and groceries. We are pretty middle of the road. The housekeeper will by most from the nearby market and the odd thing I will get at Luky's or wherever. We have a normal good salary and look for reasonable wester level of comfort. We have always lived in Africa so this part of the world is a new (and welcome) adventure. Thanks for the help!!
