I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
I spen more on the telephone, because I only had a mobile phone so calling abroad became more expensive. I spend more on the nightlife not because it is more expensive but because I went out much more. On food and travelling I spend less because it was cheaper in Holland than in Sweden. Nightlife, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Overall, Housing: was the same price as at home. Food, Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
If you need furniture or household items go around the city, beacsue in Holland they have a wounderful recycling tradition, that everyone leaves their things outside on the street, once a week, so who ever needs anything can take it before the garbage men do! Some things are a real catch! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
