The mentioned categories are cheaper than in the UK. Travelling around the city is very cheap, trains are also cheaper if you want to go to Moscow, but the rest, such as flights, are the same! HOusing is cheaper, but also depends on the quality you are looking for. NIghtlife is not cheap, but deffinitely cheaper than in the UK. Food is very bad quality, but not cheap.

Organize your costs. Take two weeks as a test period. The main expences are on food and nightlife. Forget about shopping; it is a rip off for brands, and the rest is russain domestic production!

No surprises. Banks charge quite high fees when you withdraw money from cash dispensers. For phone calls, Skype is the best solution, otherwise it is quite expensive.

The dollar/ruble exchange was great! Nightlife seemed to be on par with most European cities, but outside of clubs beer was much less expensive.
