Norway...

So, most of you know that we are headed to Norway in a couple of weeks. Frank just sent me this link: http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article828724.ece.

You'd think that it's a good thing for us, but only partly. At a random Mexican restaurant in Norway (yes, they do exist...) a 0.5 liter of soda costs $4.23... (http://www.mexicana.no/meny.pdf?PHPSESSID=e043144466a1fa58e96ce92fc0031e8e). A BigMac (not that anyone would eat that anyway...) costs about $6 while the same costs approximately $2.16 in Pakistan.

Here's a link the current currency trend for the NOK versus the USD: http://www.x-rates.com/d/NOK/USD/graph120.html. We're leaving at a terrible time for those with "greens" in their pocket.
