Cost of living in Pohnpei, Micronesia/OFW 🇵🇭

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 😊.

    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.
