The majority of day-to-day expenses were more because of the exchange rate and the low value of the Australian dollar. Travel was cheaper though, because of the close proximity to other countries. Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Travelling to other countries was relatively cheap for me. Food and drink were quite expensive, especially in terms of eating out, this surprised me. Also, phoning Australia was very expensive compared with that in Canada or the USA, but this was due to the fact that a fixed phone was not available to me therefore I was reliant upon a mobile. Cost-saving tip is to buy fruit, vegies and meat at the local market rather than the supermarket. I also found transport quite expensive, which surprised me.
