good article on cost of living. had a few friends who wanted to move here for a few months and this would have been a good post to send them!
Good article.
I would like to know, how much these prices have changed since this list was created – did they increase or decrease?
no, it’s almost the same ;-)
for a student it could be about 200-500 euro ;-) depends on your lifestyle
definitely worth staying for a while of forever :-))
