Polynesian Pricing

Here are some of
the worst deals. Sharon paid $10 a load for laundry, wash only.
In the Marqueses $80 for 24 beer! Diesel
hit $6/gallon in Bora Bora. Watermelons - $18. Pineapples - $10 for
two. Head of cabbage for $7. Internet – around $10 per hour.
Beer – $4-6 in a
hotel or restaurant and about $2 from a grocery if you shop around and return the
bottles. Cocktails - $7.50 at happy hour, double that for regular
prices. Bottle of reasonable rum $30-40. As you can see on
the right, the price of beer has little to do with the amount consumed.
But there are some
good deals too. I got 100 liters of fuel for about 20 cents a liter by
trading. Coconuts, limes, bananas and papaya can be had for the asking
at small rural gardens. Tatoos and pearls are cheaper than else where
in the world. French Baguettes for 60 cents.
