Personal comments
The house we lived as in very bad shape, the maintenance of building was neglected for a several years. There was a cleaner who visited at our place every week, but anything was clean after persons visit. We did not have proper cleaning equipment so we could not clean our rooms. In general there was a lots of fun living in there, we shared our rooms with other exchange students.

I wanted to travel and see the country. I went out more often than in home, main reason for that is the cheapness of it. Same amount of money I spent home in one evening, I could go out for a week.
