Cash Money - Before, Housing, Economy

Make sure you have enough cash when you get to Germany. There are many things like the residence or the university fee, that you have to pay cash. And many supermarkets don't accept credit or debit cards. Unless you have an EC card in Germany, a NX card (Caixa Nova)or any other similar card, you'll have to pay unusual fees to get some money in the ATM (between 7-20€).
