Because everything is much more expensive, especially travelling (exorbitant!!!). I didn´t use phone much, but CBB is much cheaper than Czech operators, especially as regards SMS.

buy a bike (there is a police auction every first Wednesday in the month) - although you might not believe it, it is possible to ride it even in winter. Bus tickets are quite expensive. Food is OK if you shop in Netto, Aldi. Bars, cafés etc. are very expensive.

Food, activities in general are much more expensive in Dk thn in Belgium. Basically, you must add twenty percent to the unit cost in Belgium. A beer is sometimes about 40 EUR! Anyway, I travelled with erasmus friends by van and it was really cheap, and so rich with respect to socialisation.
Since Aarhus is far more wanted for its accomodation than Brussels, the price is consequently nearly the same. In fact, Brussels is expensive for that.

Food: I hardly cook here so I tend to rely too much on instant food, which of course, is cheaper.
Telephone: Overseas call is certainly more expensive.
Accomodation: The cost of staying in the dorm here is definitely higher compared to what I paid for the hostel in my home university, but then again, the room is much bigger here.
Nightlife: It is the best way of knowing more friends and keeping myself relaxed. Hence, as an exchange student, I wouldnt mind spending more money on such social events.
Travel: There's so much to see when one is abroad. And I have always wanted to travel in Europe. Being in Denmark makes it a central location to visit almost all parts of Europe, which I hope to do in time to come.
Overall: The cost of living is certainly higher than in Singapore.

To save money on food, cook with the international students or locals in your dormitory. This not only bring your cost down, but at the same time, u get to know them much better and have the opportunity to eat "international" meals all the time.
