Hello everybody! So cool? (Hahahaha)
At a time when most countries or are recovering from economic recession or are still it, I thought I should touch the subject of money! Several people have asked me how much money spent per month here in Holland and now I will satisfy that curiosity in a way a little more detailed!
First things easier .. Room to rent ... Pay € 390 per month for 20 m2 room (which is nothing, nothing at all bad). The rent is also included bed, sofa, table, wardrobe, TV, fridge and two chairs! Also my landlord has kindly offered me a pot, a skillet, plates, cutlery and glasses! Water, light, gauze Internet are also included. I share the floor of the house with Jasen (rasta man of Heart) and a German (who is never here and does not use the kitchen). The floor beyond the kitchen (with washing machine !!!!) has a bathroom and a shower. In addition, 2 / 3 times a week someone comes to clean the floor. The conditions are not bad ... but it is no luxury apartment! I'm glad I do not know if this house was perchance I stayed here to do a PhD (more conditions ... more money ...).
This is a fixed amount per month .. all the rest .. varies ... but I'll make some estimates. Now we define that the months have 4 weeks and every 7 days week course. During 5 of those 7 days lunch at the Institute since it is impossible for me to come home (usually lunch is 30 min max!). I eat the same: soup, bread, cheese, butter, yogurt liquid flavors (Mango, cranberry, orange usually), a typical Dutch meal!. This gives a total of € 3.86 per meal. Usually there Friday for fish and therefore more like a fish dish apple juice / orange or water which cost me between € 5.50 and € 6 (depends on whether or juice will take ; water or if I dish with salad or not). So imagine that there is as usual Friday fish and other days the usual food, this means that on average, spent about € 4 per day or € 20 per week on lunches! Multiplied by 4 gives about € 80 per month. Of course, in addition to lunch tnho taking breakfast, dinner and perhaps a snack once in a while (I lost the habit of lunch ...). I'm not sure about spending a week on groceries but between 25 to € 30 for sure! For example ... yesterday went to LIDL (located right near home) and bought 600 grams of pork, 200 grams of ham, 300 grams of cheese, two pizzas mozzarella, tomato 500 grams, 500 grams of broccoli, bread, a jar of pesto, a jar of tomato sauce, 15 golden brown, black pepper and garlic. It got me all in € 19 and as you can see is not exactly food for 7 days! The supermarkets are a bit expensive (especially in Rotterdam) and even the LIDL can be expensive! Imagine that at least € 30 per week spent on food (about € 4.20 per day). Multiplying this by 4 gives € 120 per month for the rest of the food. So ... imagine that a total of € 200 per month spent on food.
If we add to that some day I'll dine out (eg the Portuguese restaurant) and I just imagining that 2 times per mese twice those paid about € 15. After months of spending € 30 on dinner "specials".
Now, four weeks are also the four weekends. Of course, on many weekends at home will not stay quietly in! Night out in Rotterdam means spending enough €. This is because the drinks are nothing cheap or entries on any kind of evening attractions (disks, bars). To have an idea ... snooker cheapest I found was € 9 per hour! But I do not usually play pool very well here and I do not usually go out often in rotterdam. When such leave is for dinners out and so we added more per dinner only € 10 for "entertainment." Will therefore € 20 at the end of the month!
Another important thing is transport! Cycling is almost a constant in the rain but should not! The price of the meter is not no friend and each turn I (home - Institute and Institute - home) is € 2. I must confess that lately I have gone underground but until the last 3 days was always raining! Outside this are the days when I do not want to practice anything to go by bicycle because it's super far and end up rather late. Home -> Office -> Fitness -> House, gets me around € 3.50. I practice two times per week, which gives € 7 per week plus a few days to go underground pro Institute gives me around € 10 per week or € 40 per month! (Unfortunately the Dutch do not know what is a pass for public transportation!
travel Now imagine that you can do! For some time I will not visit Dutch cities. Instead I prefer to go at Wageningen. I think I usually go from one to two times per month. Each round trip is € 15, € 2 more train (approximately) bus back and forth. More than the cost of an order week in Wageningen to be around € 20 each time I go! So I imagine that 1 and 1 / 2 months by the Wageningen, will be € 22.5 + € 3 train bus + € 30 = € ramboi 55 per month (rounded).
course, consider it an extra little luxuries like others who have from time to time or even small things I buy for me. The last was even some new headphones (about € 20).
do not know if I need something lighter than you all know so well as I that there's always something! I am not a very extravagant but I'm not the best savers. Do not step and always hungry I can try to enjoy myself with friends I have (much of the blame is theirs € spent!! hehehe).
On balance at the end ... € 390 fixed and gives about € 345 which vary greatly depending on the month! Ie .. approximately € 735 per month!

News!
Filipe (Bubas) come visit me! 27 marcoos May 5! I hope this is a message to all who came to visit me yet! I tell you is the same as I tell him, I I can not give much attention (see post before this!). The only exception in this case will be where Renata will take three days to tar the lab with her but those 3 days where I did not make a difference since trough in the middle of holidays !
The new album of My Dying Bride will come out on my birthday but I already have! I must confess that for a long time since I heard an album that gave me so eager to hear it constantly! I advise all lovers of Doom Metal (and do not appreciate too) to hear because it's the same ... but still ... very good!
I have a new prop for my exercises. A fitness ball! I must confess that it is a bit difficult to adjust but once winning balance is very cool! Day 23
start a new super exciting experience and I'm anxious!
Today was a Friday ... 13 days! I do not believe in superstitions but today while filtered viruses to a 50 mL tube of the filter is jammed and sneezed at least 5 mL for me! We use gloves, gown and worked in a booth (those in which only have their hands in there) but still a bit of liquid was me stop arm (entered by the sleeve) ... Panic! Virus ... arm ... virus ... virus in the arm ... filter on hand ... pipette in hand ... virus ... virus in the arm! PANIC! I dropped everything ... alcohol in the arm ... more alcohol ... more alcohol ... a little chlorine vááááá .... clean ... rub ... more alcohol ... more .... all the alcohol! Calm down ... Return to viruses ... Through it all the more silly is that the virus can not pass through the skin and even if it happened ... likely to infect me was minimal!
A little later ... centrifugation of viruses ... where? in the ultracentrifuge .. Why Ultra? Because it affects the stupid speed of 90000 revolutions per minute! But I just went centrifuge at 26,000 (só!!). To understand well .. this animal is nearly my height, is attached to ground in many ways, it is necessary tubes are balanced (by weight) for it to work (senão.. KABUMMM !!!). Now I always have great care and respect with these machines because I've seen a few in ISA to move forward two meters from where they were or where other people sat on top for the lid does not open (LOL). Only you can put six pipes that are numbered and sealed with lids also numbered. I only needed 4 but the machines have to take them all! Inside these tubes are still put other tubes where we have our means to spin ... as needed only four thought that the other two do not need the small little tubes. When I weighed ... I noticed a difference of 0.2 g. I thought ... I'll put the tubes and will balance with a little bit ... And so I did! Tubes ready, balanced, the centrifuge ... Connect! One begins to form a vacuum ... at 3000 rpm for ... continues ... takes 5 min to get to 26,000 but it comes ... everything in order ... 2 hours from now I'll be back! I came back, I took the tubes, I went to the room and started removing viruses using the ... until I get to the tubes with nothing .. open them to remove these little tubes inside and not I see the tubes ... 'm crazy? but I got into the pipes .. What happened? ... now .. what had happened? The tubes were not as half (or very little), esborrifaram up and were all condensed into small particles in the bottom of the tubes! All Party! A plastic tube was transformed into a thin layer of small particles (podera. .. to 26000 rpm). Conclusion ... never put tubes in ultracentrifuge with little means! Bela
Friday 13th!
I'll end this post now xD
Kisses and hugs, John
