Hello everyone!
I just wanna share to you about the cost of living here in Pohnpei, Micronesia.
Micronesia is a great place to live and people here are very friendly 😊. Mostly supplies here came from outside countries like U.S, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines.
Prices here mostly expensive once we compare it to Philippines.
Please watch till the end of this video and don't forget to like and subscribe!
Thank you 😊.

As someone who has lived in a big city their whole life, I find it so fascinating that there are people who live in these islands. Was really curious how life is there, thanks for sharing!

This is insane. A tropical island but tropical veggies and fruits are imported. Island does not grow anything local, which it easily can.

They have a few markets in Kolonia with local fruits and veggies, especially the best karat bananas. The thing is that locals mostly prefer to grow kava pepper

It looks like globalization has made self sulstaning cultures into commerce traders highly dependent on the globe. If you try to keep your purchases and money on the island. The more the island will thrive. I would avoid buying imported goods as much as possible.

Just curious, but does Pohnpei add sales tax, or is the GRT included in the price you see marked on the shelf? Here on Guam, GRT is added in already.
