thanks for that libaax,

 

I think each town and city in Somalia will have different prices, they will be all similar or near prices when we use the AVERAGE price,

 

 

greaat to know though, many people still don't know that,

 

the fuel is much cheaper there than where we are, is double that amount

200-300 (bac-weyn) thousand shillings = maaro to make baati/saako out of, the sewing price not included

 

10 U.S Dollars = latest fashion jilbaab str8 from Dubai(taliban style) also found at Bakaaro market

^50 thousand shillings = indha-shareer to match new jilbaab

 

60 - 80 Dollars = average price for the rent of a 4 bedroom house + its own daash/+kitchen& large sitting room>villa style

1000 shillings also gets you a bag of 3 massive ice cubes.

Thanks Libaax for the up date, Things are much much cheaper than here in the west....

 

Great to see this..Waa kanaqayso lol..o yep I know seems very cheap in here but folks back don't have the dollars it should be very expensive to them I can guess that.....Overall good price compared to other African countries..

 

PS. I got mixed up with Somali shilings, hell it's confusing too Millions what the heck is that...I was just looking at dollars.

 

Hope the value of our currency will be back to it's glory days..
