Hello every one.
I live in Martinique and can answer to a few of your questions.
> accommodation prices.
as every where, it all depends on what you want, but clearly, much more money than you want to pay.
Martinique is an expensive little jewel...


> public transportation fares (tube, bus etc ...)
No tube here (LOL!), we have mini-buses that have no schedule, that go from Fort-de-France to any village and stop every two minutes to drop and pick up clients. they have fix rates that you will find inside of the bus, once you are in...
They start early, but stop early too.
No bus at night.


> food prices(per month, how much does it cost you?)
Again, depends on what you want to eat.
If you eat fish and local food, fruits and veggies, you'll do fine with your money.
If you want filet-mignon, cheese, strawberries, with the same money, you're going to slim down!

Best regards,
Myriam.

Is that true that living there can makes people grow taller?
have you heard any stories or do you have friends actually proved that?
