A solid rent can be from 1 300 to 2 000 USD / month

Real estate is crazily expensive, a small ass appartment costs easily 150 - 200k USD.

If you want a real real estate like a condo or a small house it will be like 350 k.

If you'll live in the centre they will be like to charge you about 900 USD / year just so you can park your car in front of the house if you don't have a garage.

Count the gas beeing about 9 bucks / gallon, shoes, accessories and clothing 30 - 50 pct. more expensive than in the States.

Electronics and PC stuff is about twice as expensive as in the States.

Groceries about the same, but steadily growing.

A solid internet connection 80 - 120 bucks / month

a cell phone bill about a 100 bucks a month if you use a cell for business

A dinner in a better restaurant is about 20 - 30 bucks

You can get it for 8 - 10 bucks in local pubs but it won't be exactly a gourman experience.

A beer on tap in average is about 2 bucks

I could buy a house with a pool in the States for the same price as a flat with two rooms here.

I enjoyed spending time in the States a lot, almost everything is cheaper and the average quality of the services uncomparably better, I enjoyed spending time in the States a lot.

I know I sound like a Yankee but it's numbers that make me say that.
