Molten Metal, no way 600 a month is enough for the guy. I eat next to nothing, and I don't spend less than 250 a week, which is about 1000-1200 a month. no way. and it keeps climbing up week by week.. It's almost doubled for the last year.

200 for outings?

is that a rate per hour?

Expenses depends on the kind of life you want to live. If you take vegetarian food at La Cigale or at the souk, the price definitely varies.

Welcome to QL & wish you 'll be here soon ..

For food QRs 600 enough for a single person.

Water bill by estmate may be 200 QRs.

Keep another 200 for outings with friends / neighbours.

Your colleagues should pay you free treats for first 2 - 3 months I suppose ..

Good Luck & Sat sri akal !
