Stats about life, 2011

Well, it's quite a surprise that I notice the last time I posted here: one year ago!
I think I just followed the trend of all my acquaintances that had blogs: it's simply forgotten with all the privacy issues and Facebook spam going around.
I'll post some more, at least for posterity: about Cuba, particularities in living in different EU countries, etc.

But, here's some interesting facts about my life, money wise. I'm able to compute these since I have a google spreadsheet for my financial management (see previous post about 2010).
  • books worth 84€ (around 10 I guess); this will change since now I have a kindle and Project Gutenberg to supply me with good old stuff
  • 55 nights out partying, worth around 20€ a night (yes, Berlin is cheap!)
  • 114 dinners out (around 14€ each non-business dinner)
  • 275€ in sport (incl. equipment), up quite a bit from 2010
  • 206€ on a bike (a new one and it's maintenance)
  • 74 lunches, averaging 8€ each
  • 84 coffees, 3.67€ on average: this includes company and cakes since Saturday afternoon is the Kaffee un Kuchen tradition around here 
  • For what it's worth, only 13% of my expenses are made in cash, 10% in credit card
  • Once a week to the supermarket, worth 21€ each time (I go more per week, but mind the holidays, etc)
  • 12 taxi rides, none in Berlin (mostly in Lisbon and Madeira)
  • 7 museum entries
  • 7 brunches, 14€ each
  • 1 movie, €8, I guess in the Berlinale 2011 (talking of which...)
  • 78€ worth of beer bought in the local "Spätie"
