Personal comments

be prepared to arrive in an empty flat, no pots, pans, knives,...first big expense, furthermore partylife is inaffordable without big savings...althoug in 2004 taxes will lower, so no real problem for that anymore I guess. Save on food, don't eat alone, cook together with other people, cheaper and nicer of course
