> Norway is the most expensive country i have ever lived in or visited

I visited Scandinavia (Bergen was one of my stops) a couple of summers back, and between the currency conversion and prices it was easily the most expensive place I have ever been. It's an amazingly beautiful area, but I doubt I'll ever go back because of the prices.

I remember sitting in a restaurant in Stockholm and commenting that maybe the prices would go down some in Norway, and a couple next to us started laughing. The other couple then explained not only were they not going down, but they are going up.

Yup, I live in Stockholm and almost wherever I travel I feel my money is worth more than at home (that includes cities like Amsterdam, Munich, etc., so quite expensive places), the only exceptions have been Oslo and anywhere in Switzerland. My gosh, it hurt a bit paying for €8-10 shitty beers or €6 cappuccinos at the train stations.
