	Please, also keep in mind that Romania has a low index of cost of living (take a look here! https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/gmaps.jsp?indexToShow=getCpiIndex). Hence, the conference costs with venue, catering etc. will follow that line. Furthermore, the additional expenses for FOSS4G participants will be considerable acceptable: 1 beer = 1.6-2 EUR, 1 cocktail = 3-5 EUR, 1 bottle of good wine = 15-20 EUR; decent meal = 8-12 EUR, all considered downtown Bucharest. Taxi services are also quite cheap: around 0.30 EUR/km. Of course, Uber and Taxify are quite popular in the Romanian capital.
