Personal spending habits
Food: In my home University we could have lunch and dinner for free, but in Sweden no. So i had to buy all the food.
Telephone: i spent less because i was using skype a lot to communicate with the people in Greece and for communicating with the exchange students we had a really cheap offer.
Housing: In Greece i don't have to pay a rent.
Nightlife: The alcohol was more expensive in Sweden and we were going out really often.
Travel: within the six mounths i was there i travelled quite a lot.
