    I lived/worked there for 6 months - did the freelance thing and it was the most awesome time of my life :) I was making a fortune - about US400/day in the hand (this was during the dot com boom and I would expect rates may have even halved). The cost of living is expensive but you can live on the cheap - but not as a long term solution. I was in a studio apartment that barely fit its contents of a small single bed, kitchen sink and closet (shared toilet and bathroom with 16 other apartments). It an awesome design scene, club scene, and an awesome base to travel europe. If you're coming from the US your biggest obstacle will be getting a working visa.
