Hello Danielle !

Je te r茅pond en Fran莽ais 馃榿

La co没t de la vie est effectivement 茅norme en Guyane surtout dans le coin Cayenne/R茅mire/Matoury. D'apr猫s les nombreuses rencontres que j'ai fait, ceux qui vive tr猫s bien sont les fonctionnaires qui ont un prime "vie ch猫re" de 40% sur leur salaire mensuel.

En regardant nos d茅penses personnelles, 脿 2, le prix des courses 脿 doubl茅 de 100鈧� 脿 200鈧� par semaine, le loyer on payait 400鈧� 脿 Rennes en Bretagne pour 50m虏 propre, ici tu n'as rien 脿 moins de 650-700鈧� et c'est 30m虏 mal construit, mal isol茅, y'a des abus partout, dans le priv茅 et chez les agences.

Si ton logement est mal isol茅, ta clim va te co没ter tr猫s cher en 茅lectricit茅. Nous c'est notre cas, donc on a choisi de la mettre vraiment 脿 des moments strat茅giques comme la nuit, 脿 27, et la journ茅e on a choisi de vivre avec la m茅t茅o locale, c'est vraiment un plus pour comprendre les gens et apprendre une nouvelle fa莽on de vivre.

On vient de Bretagne donc on n'est pas venu ici pour avoir de la fra卯cheur chez nous 馃榿馃槄

Je reviens sur ton mode de nutrition pescatarian, la p锚che 莽a marche bien en Guyane, surtout si tu t'茅loignes des villes Cayenne/R茅mire/Matoury.

Vu que le poisson est local, on s'attendrait 脿 ce qu'il soit moins cher, 脿 une 茅poque oui, mais maintenant non, tout le monde veut gagner de l'argent ici, donc quand les p锚cheurs voient les prix des grandes surfaces ils augmentent eux aussi.

Le principe c'est que tout ce qui est import茅 en Guyane est tr猫s cher, donc le vin... a茂e, mais bon il y en a.

Voil脿 quelques infos, si tu as besoin d'autre chose, n'h茅site pas, sens toi 脿 l'aise.

Hello Danielle!

I'll answer you in French 馃榿

The cost of living is indeed huge in Guyana, especially in the Cayenne/R茅mire/Matoury area. From the many people I've met, those who live very well are civil servants who have a "cost of living" bonus of 40% on their monthly salary.

Looking at our personal expenses, for 2, the price of groceries has doubled from 鈧�100 to 鈧�200 per week, we paid 鈧�400 for rent in Rennes in Brittany for a clean 50m虏, here you don't have anything for less than 鈧�650-700 and it's 30m虏 poorly built, poorly insulated, there are abuses everywhere, in the private sector and at agencies.

If your accommodation is poorly insulated, your air conditioning will cost you a lot in electricity. This is our case, so we chose to put it at really strategic times like at night, at 27, and during the day we chose to live with the local weather, it's really a plus to understand people and learn a new way of life.

We come from Brittany so we didn't come here to have freshness at home 馃榿馃槄

I come back to your pescatarian nutrition mode, fishing works well in Guyana, especially if you move away from the cities Cayenne/R茅mire/Matoury.

Since the fish is local, we would expect it to be cheaper, at one time yes, but now no, everyone wants to make money here, so when fishermen see the prices of supermarkets they increase too.

The principle is that everything that is imported into Guyana is very expensive, so wine... ouch, but hey there is some.

Here is some information, if you need anything else, do not hesitate, feel at ease.

Hello everyone,
