Personal spending habits
This town is expensive - I spent so much the first week that I was freaking - You need to bring some big bucks if you want to have a fun time. This is like New York prices except for maybe beer - everything else is pricey

Use your ATM card and make sure that you don't get hit with a big commission - don't bother with traveler's check's or changing money in banks

Personal comments
Tappa touring in Plaza Mayor is a must at least once. Use Cafe y Te if you want to study, great cafe and always a great atmosphere. Try some of the Jazz Cafes too, they might surprise you. One word of advice, don't get obsessed with clubs, the cafes can be equally as fun.

It was very dissapointing. Many rules like in the army. Apartments are far. They lied to me when I applied. I thought I was going to get what they promised.
