Main source of funding:
Personal savings
Other sources of funding:
Family
Work opportunities:
I worked, but it was illegal/cash in hand work
Personal spending habits
The fees for food, telephone and accommodation in England are higher than those in China. Therefore, I spent more money on them. As for travel, it is easier for me to get visa of European countries in England than in China. So I have more chances to travel. Regarding with Nightlife, the nightlife is less interesting in England than in China, so I spend less time on it.

If you want decent food in england you pay what's asked, and accomodation is also sensibly more expensive than in france... Nightlife is ok though for what it costs there, in a student environment that is.

Buy a one day round trip to get there with the ferry and trash the way back, it(s cheaper than a one way journey. switch company on the way back because even months after they record the fact that you never came back and may charge you the difference

When you are in foreign country for some time, you want to do everything possible, because you don't know when you might be coming back.

Everything is very expensive but on the other hand, it is quite easy to find a job as in a restaurant or in a pub for example.

Life in the UK is more expensive then in Germany, esp. food and housing. You can get busses to London for 1 GBP - that's making travelling cheaper.
