100 Euros a week pocket money should be fine
2 :
€100 per week will buy you a daily paper. coffee and a pastry in the morning and a beer in the evening. It may also be enough for a club ticket and something stronger once a week of fortnight. The other thing is how far is your daily commute? Can you afford a bike to start?
3 :
Small beer maybe 2 Euros, large beer maybe 4 Euros. Grass and hash at coffee shop prices (Amsterdam) maybe 5 Euros per gram.
4 :
Is this 100 euros just for pocket money? Should be adequate if you're not planning on doing anything outrageous.
5 :
That's 400 euros a month just pocket money. I have to eat from that amount too, so if you're a little sensible in how to spend it, you will do just fine.
6 :
After paying all my bills I can spend 70 euros a week. With that money I have to buy my food, clothes, presents, buss tickets etc. It's not much but I can survive with that. I can't afford to go to the pub or theater all the time. So I think that if you can spend 100 euros a week and you don't have to pay any bills or food with that money it's possible to survive of that. Going out or traveling is expensive, but doesn't everyone has to make choices how much they want to spend on those things.
7 :
damn, you got it made, if you don't have to pay for your stay or for food what else is there you would need????? you can live it up on the weekend with that money, get drunk and party hahahahahaha or if you not the party animal, take a trip to the museum and have fun, 100 a week gets you pretty far, i wish i had that much to spend enjoy your stay
8 :
Public transport is kind of expensive, but if you don't have to pay rent or food and don't party too much, you should be okay.
9 :
I would advise you to ask for an additional compensation for transportation to your job than you'll be more than fine with 100 euro's a week, but don't expect to eat daily in a restaurant.
10 :
Don't worry that's enough.
11 :
With or without hookers and drugs?
12 :
if you don't have to pay for a place to stay and food its possible to "survive" on 100 a week, it all depends on what you want to do. You won't be able to get drunk of it daily (in a bar) but, you ll be able to do some fun things..
13 :
I don't think so unless you sleep outside and live off the garbages pales . Europe is very expensive . One cup of coffee is 2.50 eu . So figure out its $3.80 Cdn . or $3.00 Us . I was there in 2004 .Good luck

No, you cannot work until you get an EAD (employment authorization), and you need to file for an AOS to ask for it. You could visit him while waiting for a K3 but not work there... Be careful if you visit him after marrying, you will have to prove that you would be going back to your home country after the visit to wait for approval (boss's letter, rent, etc.) You have an other option which is the CR1 (I believe that's what it's called). I think it's processed faster and you can work as soon as you come in the USA with it.
2 :
If you enter on a K-3 you do not have to file for AOS before applying for the EAD. This only applies to the K-1 fiance visa. But no, you cannot work in the meantime. You also cannot live in the US whilst the case is in process. You can visit though for the time that you are permitted to, if you are granted entry. Being apart is tough, I know, as I did this whole process myself. You will make it though, we all do.

Would a Holland Lop Eared rabbit be a good pet for an apartment

Would a Holland Lop Eared rabbit be a good pet for an apartment?
My boyfriend and I would like to get a pet, but don't think it would be fair to get a dog. We work 8hrs/day and aren't always going to have lots of attention for a dog. We decided something like the holland lop eared rabbit (since they are small) might be a good pet. We thought about a cat but wanted something different. Does anyone have good or bad experiences with lop eared rabbits in apartments? Or in general?

I don't live in an apartment, but i have had a lop eared rabbit before. He was excellent. He was calm and always relieved himself in the litter box. Having an apartment i recommend blocking the kitchen off and placing the cage there, that way once you feel confident that he is litter trained you can leave the cage door open and allow him to roam the kitchen as long as you have rabbit proofed the kitchen. That way you don't have to worry about him having an accident on the carpet. A rabbit is a popular apartment animal because they can act much like a combo of cat and dog. Cat because it can be potty trained. Dog because it is cuddly, can be "walked", and will eat vegetables.
2 :
Ok I don't have any in an apartment however I show them. They are wonderful rabbits and size is defiantly and advantage. I sold some of my rabbits to apartment owners and the rabbits did fine. The ones I have love to be snuggled and Absolutely Love my brother and sister pulling them out of their cages.

. in apartment is good in coop

Neither your Nepalese passport nor the Romanian Residence Card (Permis de Sedere temporara) waives the visa requirement to the Schengen countries. If you plan to take your holidays in Germany, the Netherlands, or Spain you will need a Schengen tourist visa type C. It needs to be applied for at the Embassy of the country which is your main destination. If you don't have a main destination it will be the country you enter at first. Spanish tourist visa requirements: • Applicant's personal presence at the Consular section • Visa application form duly completed and signed by the applicant (two copies) • Passport valid for the entire period for which approval is sought • Romanian temporary residence card • Two recent photographs passport size • Medical insurance to cover throughout the duration of your stay in Spain and in all Schengen states, medical costs and repatriation in case of accident or sudden illness. The minimum insurance cover is 30,000 euros. • flight ticket reservation • hotel reservation or tourist tour voucher showing the applicant's name • prove of holding sufficient funds (€62.40 per day of stay [minimum €561.50]) • last 3 months bank statements • work permit and certificate by the employer stating the profession, employment duration, monthly/ annually pay, and the vacation time • the visa fee of €60 [258 RON] All documents must be forwarded as original wiith one photocopy attached. http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Embajadas/Bucarest/ru/MenuPpal/VisadosMoldavos/Cortaduracin/Paginas/cortaDuracion_ru_bucarest.aspx .. The requirements for a German visa application are listed here: http://www.bukarest.diplo.de/Vertretung/bukarest/de/01/Visabestimmungen/ddatei__schengenvisum-englisch,property=Daten.pdf .. Please note that the German Consulate Generals in Sibiu and Timisoara do not issue visa. All applications must be addressed to the Embassy in Bucharest.
