Personal spending habits:
Accomodation here has more faccilities to pay for. I travel more hear , seeing new paces and travel to job locations. In my home country most of my telephone calls were local. Now I have to make frequent international calls to home country -to keep in tourch with family

Food, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
One always has the choice to spend or not to spend and how much to spend. Buying from shops of distributers is less costly and weekly courch or bus tickets reduce travel costs and early morning calls are less expensive.
