I spent less in telephone because I mostly used the internet to communicate, and also the telephone calls are cheaper. Houses here are incredibly more expensive than in Portugal. I also travelled more than usual so I spent more money in it.

was the same price as at home.

Final comments

Romania is a nice country, but still, I wouldn't move here, it's good to be here as an erasmus student, great night life, beautiful places to visit (the city Brasov is one of the most beautiful I've seen), but not to live.

They've asked us for a very high price at the dorms, so we decided to look for an apartment ourselves.

My favourite places were Fire and Gazete, they mostly had students so there was a good atmosphere. There are also a lot of clubs but that's just no my style.
