So I'm being shipped off to Copenhagen for a month to work on a project for the COP15 UN summit.
I need to know how expensive it is there, I've looked online and it seems to be one of the most expensive places in Europe if not the world.
My boss is offering me an extra £300 expenses for a month. Now normally I have about £500 spending/saving money in London after bills, rent, and general outgoings like food shopping. So while I'm not rolling in it by any means, I get by. I obviously don't want to make any sacrifices in terms of lifestyle and going out while I'm there, so what I need to know is can you actually have a decent social life, and eat out two or three times a week, have a few pints in a pub after work, watch films, go out, etc. for the princely sum of around 6500 DKK a month? Or should I really be asking for more expense money?
My accommodation will be taken care of, I just don't want to be sitting at home watching Danish X-Factor because I haven't been precocious enough to make a correct demand on my work.
On the Upside I will be bringing a bike and look forward to meeting the Copenhagen fixed crew. Maybe Polo and some rides will be happening in the month from 20Nov- 20 Dec?
