Personal spending habits
BECAUSE IT WAS NECESSARY TO KEEP IN TOUCH BY PHONE. HOUSING WAS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MY HOST COUNTRY BECAUSE I HAD TO PAY A GOOD PLACE NEAR THE UNIVERSITY, AND IT WAS RENTED. NIGHTLIFE WAS LESS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE I DIDNT USE TO GO OUT AT NIGHT AND TRAVEL WAS LESS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE I HAD NOT MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO TRAVEL.
