GuitARA Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 (edited) Hi, Great. Well, I want to know how much the cost of living is currently in Armenia. For example, how much would it cost for a single man to 'get by' (rent, food, etc)per month. Nothing "extravagant", just simple living. Also, what kind of jobs are available ? Sorry, I'm clueless about life in Armenia Thanks Edited February 24, 2004 by GuitARA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I'm clueless about life in Armenia Thanks with $ 300 - 400 you should do ok renting a studio in the central part of the city can go from $ 70 to 120 . Normally, studio comes with a large kitchen (nowhere close to a crummy kitchen in NYC), a balcony with the view on Ararat ( you get that from almost every building in Yerevan) , and a bathroom. You should probably think about buying some basic furniture and electrical appliances: electrical oven, water heater tank (that's for taking showers), small fridge and etc though some apartments for rent come with furniture and appliances included and go at a higher (extra $ 30-40) rates. You also pay for the electricity and water. In the winter months electrical bill can run up to $ 50-70. Food is cheap if you cook home, if not and you dine everyday out your food bill should not be more than $ 150-200 Now the job: that of course would depend on your professional skills and the resume (degrees, languages and etc). But take my advice and plan things in advance especially with the job Edited February 24, 2004 by xes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But take my advice and plan things in advance especially with the job That sounds very reasonable. So I take it, that there is actually work to be found. Actually, I would be looking for a NON - professional job i.e., NO OFFICE JOB. One last thing ... Is the power the same in Armenia as it is in the US. 110v, 220v, ???
