12 comments:

  1. Hello together, I want to comment the presentation of the Spanish people about the different prices in our Erasmus+ countries and I want to say something about the prices in Germany. First of all, you did it in a really good way with lots of informations about the prices of medicine, food, drinks,
    furnitures ... in our countries. It´s very interesting and informative! :-)
    As we can see in your presentation, bread, eggs, electricity, cheese, apples and oranges are more expensive in Germany than in the other countries. But our rents for apartments, the price for a bottle of wine, cocktails or cigarettes are not as much expensive as the rents of apartments or the prices for alcoholic stuff or cigarettes in Finland for example.
    Another thing is that we haven´t spent that much on education than Finland or Poland.
    If we compare all those facts that you´ve mentioned, we can see that Germany is not the cheapest country but it isn´t the most expensive country of our Erasmus+ countries.

  2. Hello, I want to comment on the presentation of the polish students about the comparison of costs and earnings in the four of our countries. First I want to say that you did a really good job because everything is very well structured and easy to understand and to compare.I was surprised that although everything in finnland is more expensive than in the other countries they don't have to pay anything for university. Also I didn't know that trousers were so much cheaper in Germany than in other countries. You can also see that the cheapest country in comparison to the other three countries is Poland but they also earn the least money. Finnish people earn most money and Spain and Germany are in the middle part. So I think your presentation is very well done and easy to understand!

  3. Hello partners :) We want to say that you did a really good and easy to compare presentation Spain. Some prices in Poland are real, but lots of them are definitely too high. For example it is not true that mineral water cost 2,50 euro here. It's about four times cheaper :> Greetings from Poland - Sandra, Julia & Iga

  4. Hello from Spain. We have read the information about the different countries and we are surprised because in Finland university is free. In Spain, however, it is quite expensive, families have to work quite hard if they want to afford their son's studies at university. A family's average salary allows them to pay one of their son's studies, but this is harder if they have a second son studying at university, and even more if only one of the members earns a salary. Before economic crisis started it was quite easy to get a grant to afford university studies, but nowadays it is really difficult and you need a minimum qualification to get it (6,5 points out of 10).
    There are different points of view, but most of the Spanish population doesn't agree with the low investment made by the government in education and health. Talking about education, the spent In Poland is higher than in Spain, and salaries there are much lower than ours!

  5. Hello from Spain. It is totally worth spending time reading this; so first, I would like to thank everyone who has helped to do this.
    After this, the first thing that caught my attention is the differences in a lot of products "Why this difference?" I asked myself. I think that now I get the answer. Although in Germany or Poland prices are more expensive, it is because of the salary. In Spain, earning money is harder because salaries are lower.
    What about education? In my opinion, it is awesome how much money the governments invest in another countries. In Finland, education is free even if you are at the university. Talking about education in Spain we have much work to do.
    Greeting from Spain, Alberto

  6. Hi to everyone!
    Reading this information has made me think about the differences on prices, salaries, fees between european countries. How is possible that universities in Finland are free? Is the location, the tourists tracks related with these differences?
    It is true that salaries are completely different between countries but basic matters such as education or food should be taken into consideration.From my point of view issues such as administration expenses and bureaucracy , politics allowances and travel expenses are secondary. Why don't countries invest their money and efforts in improving basic universal rights ? Think about it!!

    Hello from Spain. I have been reading the presentations of the different countries and I want to congratulate them for de good job.
    After this, I want to stand out the big differences of the food's price. My question is: Why? I think that this is due to the different salaries of the people, for example, in Spain people get less money compared to other European countries.
    The different prices can be a big problem when countries want to buy things each other, such as tobacco, milk, beer, etc.
    Other thing that I want to stand out is the price of the university and the money that countries invest in education. In Finland, the university is free so there the people haven't economic problems to study a degree and this do that the country can develop its economy. In the other hand, I would like that Spain invest more money in education, it is one of the most important things for a country and it can help the population to have a better life.
    Thanks for your attention!
    Greeting from Alejandro.

  8. Hi guys!
    I can see that everyone have done a good job, all the comments are very well.
    I consider these topic soo interesting and I think that Spanish’s prices are lower than in the rest of countries, Germany and Poland, in a large number of categories of products and services, but where we can appreciate the difference of prices considerably is in food, alcoholic drinks and tobacco, those products that we consider vice sor bad habits and the food, a basic necessity. Finally I like to answer that Poland and Germany have lower prices in other categories so that the general economy is some balanced.
    It’s all guays! An affectionate greeting from Spain!

  9. Hello guys,
    I have to say that I liked this topic very much, I liked very much Spain's presentation because it gave me an overview about all the aspects. I was just really shocked/surprised about some prices in every country because the difference of prices is pretty different on a lot of products, but on the other hand it is normal according to the salaries of each country.
    Finally, the education shocked me a lot definitely I'm going to Finland! Universities for free?! How can this be even possible? Germany gives a lot of opportunities to their students, offering a big variety of choices when it comes to their future. Countries such as Spain should learn from this and invest more on their education it is an issue that concerns the future of the country!!

    That was all, wish you the best!

  10. Hello guys,
    I read through all of the three presentations and I think all of them are very good. I like the presentation of Spain and Poland a lot, they have a good structure and show a good view of everything.
    I was very surprised how different the prices in Europe can be. I always thought that the prices in Germany are normal. It was new for me that our apples for example are pretty expensive, I asked my self how that could be. Or even how the price for the internet differs is interesting.
    I love the fact that education in Finland is for free, I think that is the way it should be. They also earn a lot, but they have to pay more taxes, so it is kinda even again. Germany has a pretty good position too, but I was kinda shocked how the salary of Poland differs to the other countries.
    I guess we can all learn from Finland, they earn more, pay more taxes but they get more back from the state.
    But in the end I would say the prices are kinda balanced, some things definitely could be cheaper in favor other stuff is cheaper.

    Good job guys!

  11. Hey guys,
    I want to comment some Point wich I think are the most intersting ones.

    So first I was very surprised about the meat prices from Poland and Finland. I thought always that Germany have to spend a lot of money for all of their food products (at least more than Poland).

    Then I was reassured that our good cheese is the most expensive one because we really like to spend much for a good cheese.

    Prices for Fruit,Vegetables and food Products were how Im expect them and only the drink prices for Poland are a little bit strange.

    The thing I want to comment on are the prices of a table. I think we are in a globalization and we would geht all the same table from the Ikea Online shop for the same low price.

    Thx for reading

  12. Hello guys,
    I read all the three presentations and it surpriced me, because I haven't think that the prices are so different. I see it now in a new perspective, but why are the prices so different?
    It is really interest that the food prices are so different, sometimes it is cheaper or not or the same prices, like the bread between Germany and Finland it is the same price.
    But at the end I see that some things are cheaper and some are expensive in each country.
