the "industrial goods" (clothes etc. are the same price as at home) - only the food is more expensive + you always spend more on nightlife when you're on exchange...

Personal spending habits
I am a curious person and I always want to try or know more of people, place or situation. Hence, I spent more seeing, knowing and learning about Holland's things because living expenses are pretty high especially in Amsterdam where I am living than in my home country.
