Always bring TWO cards! Cerdit and bank card! If you lose one, you have at least another one! Subsrice for the UASIN newsletter at the international center, it is the best way to get second-hand everything from books to furniture!

Suprisingly, I had no money problems although I travelled and went out a lot. Cost-saving tip: grocery shopping once a week at "Superstore" - really cheap and great range of goods. for smokers: bring cigarettes with you! one package was about 7 EUR!!
