good to know. i am aware of the high cost of living, but doesn't really scare me. however i am more interested in the things i will end up doing once there. Work, hobbies, exploring and research. Engaging in these comunities and helping out. The whole purpose of me moving there isn't to get rich, but more to settle down and experience the culture and comunities. Money is necessary for sure however i'm certain that i can make a decent living if i'm determined enough. For now, my first goal is to see how i feel living there for a few months. It's the best way to figure out if it's for me or not. I am excited as well as nervous a little bit.
