Things are much cheaper there, at least when you adapt to local foodhabits for instance. Cooking Western food and buying the ingredients would have cost me a lot. Travelling was surprisingly cheap taken into account distances and so! Prices for drinks in bars were even more expensive than Europe.

Go out for food, don't cook yourself at least if you like the local cuisine! When booking a trip make sure you check prises at different travel agency's, some are not sincere.

I was a bit suprised by the electricety bill: try to keep the airco low (is hard sometimes with high humidity). Also the Gas bill took some poor savings. And you always spend more than planned.. especially with traveling!

Living expenses are all cheaper than in the Netherlands. I spend a lot more on traveling because living in this different area in the world gave me the opportunity to experience different countries and cultures.

The nightlife is very expensive in Macau, beer or entrance to a club is triple as expensive, at least!
Since I only called over the Internet, I spend asically nothing on telephone.
Since I wanted to see a lot in China, I travelled a lot, while at home I would never travel during my studies to far away places. But once you are in Asia you have to use the opportunities of getting really to know the country and the culture etc...

Yes, I faced problems with my bank card from home (which only works on some dispensers), and also sometimes with my creditcard. but in general you can use masterard or visa at every dispenser in Macau. I would say it is not worth to get a bank account there.
