the library is closed on the weekend, which was annoying, but its the way it is in Europe--Sunday is a true day of rest!

Personal spending habits
If you have a cell phone you are going to spend more money there because its very expensive to make even a local phone call. Texting is also about 20 cents per text, and everyone does it all the time! Traveling was cheaper there than here, but I did more of it there obviously, so I spent more on it. It costs more for a beer there and we tended to go out more there. Also you have to pay for a cab every night which isn't cheap.

The lodge was a ton of fun, as was the Market if you like the clubbing scene. The 3 bars on campus were great as well, I wish we had those in the USA!
