| Nov 3, 2012 at 22:22 | comment | added | MastaBaba | I'm with @dbkk. As I point out, it's possible, but far from desirable. rahul is going to work at the Max Planck institute. Just grabbing a coffee next door will cost him a quarter of his daily available budget. Or more than half, if he gets a fancy one. But, anyway, 500 euros per month is a stipend. It is not supposed to be able to cover everything. It's supposed to help you in meeting your living expenses, not provide for them. | |
| Nov 3, 2012 at 20:34 | comment | added | Michael Borgwardt | @dbkk that seems a bit pessimistic to me - if you can cook you'll have perfectly OK meals. Of course there's the danger of unforeseen expenses, and if your definition of "livable" necessarily includes regular recreational activities more expensive than exploring the city on foot, that would be a problem... | |
| Nov 3, 2012 at 17:19 | comment | added | dbkk | Quite optimistic. Germany on 8 euro/day (after accommodation) is perhaps survivable (as in, you could get enough calories not to starve if you're careful enough with food) but nowhere close to livable. | |
| Nov 3, 2012 at 16:31 | comment | added | MastaBaba | Hm. You could indeed stuff your luggage allowance with consumables. Won't likely make it much cheaper, though, as you will still have to buy these products. You just won't be buying them in Germany. | |
| Nov 3, 2012 at 16:04 | comment | added | rahul | yeah! That's what I am thinking about. Actually, few guys from India suggested to carry "rice" and cook for myself.. which should save a lot. What do you say? | |
