Hello VARAD1974

about your questions , the answers for that are the following

1.Cost of apartment (with sharing) or (without sharing).  : depends on the area , you may have an apartment between 300$-500$ one room , or a compund house for not less than 1000$-1500$

2.Food cost.  : you can provide food from so many shops it might cost you between 500$-700$ if you cook at home maybe less if you know how to get your stuff

3.Internet : between 50$ to 130$ for home internet , for mobile between 20$ to 50$ a month

4.Water  ( the water at home isnt expensive the bill will be between 10$-20$ maybe less even depending on your use)

5.electricity cost  also not that expensive depending on your use between 10$-20$

6.Medical Insurance  you can find insurance between 100$-200$/month and you can just do nothing and in case you got sick (God Forbid) then you can go the hospital and get a care there, i don't have well knowledge about hospitals there but i prefer you check european or american hospitals there , DO NOT USE LOCAL CLINICS EVER

HOPE THAT ANSWERED A FEW OF YOUR QUESTIONS WELL

ENJOY YOUR STAY IN DR-CONGO
