Living experience 7

• Accommodation: We tried both Airbnb and Studapart for finding accommodation


» Went through Airbnb
» Furnished studio apartment with flame, oven, fridge and kitchenware
• Food
» Limited Vegetables, spices are available in Carrefour
• Living expenses
» 1200 euros for 2 bhk; located in the city center Rue de Siam
» Food more expensive than in Germany, cheaper than Northern Europe
• Ease of travel and sightseeing
» Small City with a touch of modernity and history
» Intra-city travel is free- Bibus Pass for 28 euros a month will cover everything
» The city is in one end of France near UK. To visit other countries your travel tends to get
lengthy and you need to go through Paris every time.
» Flights out of Brest are unaffordable
• Essential carry along
» Warm and water-proof jacket, umbrella, inners/warmers, gloves, cap, first aid
» All personal hygiene products (shaving kit, soaps, shampoos, etc.)
» Ready to eat food packets and spices in good quantity
