Personal comments
My favourite cafe is situated in the center of The Hague and is called "Deluca".We often go there with many people to enjoy good coffee and amazing atmosphere. My preferable night spot is the student bar arranged and opened by the students.I like it there because there are only our students,we can communicate there a lot and forget about the difficulties in school.

Personal comments
My room is very good and quite large, but I live with a roommate that limits my privacy. The room is quite expensive and I could have found something cheaper.

It was a great experience for me to live alone in another country.I gained a lot of experience in communication, in studying in overcomming difficulties by myself. I have a lot of friends now all over the world and I am very happy I chose my Erasmus in The Hague. This is an amazing city which is situated on the seaside.

Personal spending habits
Because in my home country I do not have to pay for my accomodation as I live with my family. Besides, I do not have to spend money on food because my parents buy everything we need. I do not travel in Russia so much, but here I have been to a lot of places and cities already.Telephone service here is much more expensive than in Russia.And I spend more because I communicate a lot here with my friends and often call to my family.
