  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The cost of living is very high. It's cheaper to live far from the office, however that makes commuting painful. Eating out is also way too expensive. The only positive thing is the variety of places (pubs, restaurants). It's fun to take pictures of them - that's it.
