telephone is so cheap in germany and nightlife too compared to italy
it's possible to find bier for just 1 euro in italy it costs 4 euro the entrance in the clubs cost maximum 5 or 7 euros in italy 15 or 20
travel are expensive german raylways are too expansive but it's possible above all in the week end to find very cheap trains but they are too uncomfortable
