Cost of living is a bit less here than at home. In housing it's a lot less, but also worse quality. I spent more on travel because I traveled a lot more than usual. The telephone system is bad here and I find cell phones and land lines to be very expensive.

Personal spending habits
In order to experience as much as you can in a ahort time period, you have to spend money. Aside from this, I came to have fun and to experience things that I couldn't at home, so I was also a little less careful with my money than I would have been at home.

Personal comments
In general people don't make effort to learn english at academic level, therefore one is obliged to take spanish courses to become at ease with spanish. That is a good thing, otherwise one would take the easy way to speak english rather than to learn spanish.
