Personal spending habits
I spent more on food and accommodation because prices there in Belgium are higher than in Poland. As regards the nightlife and travelling, it seems easier and more tempting to spare time to those activities when surrounded by friends, so in that case the higher expenses were due not necessarily to the prices (which are higher anyway) but mainly to my increased social life.

Personal comments
In order to save some money on food, I advise shopping at big markets like GB or Delhaize. They offer cheap but good quality food products ("Produit Blanc", "Derby"). If you intend to travel in Belgium a lot, consider buying a go-pass - a book of ten train tickets, allowing to go to any place in Belgium for no more than 150 BEF.

Food is a bit more expensive than in Germany, probably because of the higher VAT (value added tax).
