Personal spending habits
Everything IS just more expensive than in Belgium, except maybe the food from LIDL... I spent less on telephone calls simply because I called less and because I found a good solution for the international calls. Travel was obviously a more common activity than in Belgium.

There was no continuous assessment on my course, just a final exam at the end of the year. You have to study independently, if you want to keep learning.
