Pizza Party, Going out...

I might stress this very often but we really have a great time here. We are busy most of the time because of the university, numerous leisure activities as well as going out 3-4 times per week etc. In Austria it would be really possible to go out that often or at least it would not be possible to consume the same amount of drinks. It would not be affordable. I mentioned differences in the price levels between Austria and Bulgaria, here are some more

• Beer € 1
• Tequila shot € 1
• Cocktails € 2.5 - € 5
• Kebap € 1.3

There is one thing, which I do not like concerning going out. In my opinion it is a pity that there are no restrictions to smoke in bars, restaurant etc. Thus it is same procedure here in BG as in Austria. By any chance the EU will be able to regulate that…hopefully soon.

Interesting enough it is not that cheap to buy food in supermarkets, therefore it is visible that labour is very cheap and therefore students are more likely to go out for lunch and dinner than cooking at the dormitories as mentioned.

Apropos money, after some problems with our Erasmus contract (caused by the Austrian Erasmus agency) we already have received the first amount our Erasmus scholarship. Furthermore I realised that banks charge you a lot when you withdrawal money from your foreign ATM card (approximately € 2). Thus I’m looking forward to get my Bulgarian ATM card not only because my Austrian ATM card is nearly broken….

Finally some picture of the “Pizza Party” on Thursday. Thank you Anthony for the invitation.

We were starving, but finally the pizzas arrived.
