i didn’t find out until it was too late, but let this be your fair warning: expect to pay two to three times expected prices (i.e., compared to other countries) when in Norway. (on a positive note, if you’re short on cash, debit/credit cards are widely accepted; American Express limited, but give it a shot.) i think this is turning out to be the most expensive country i’ve ever visited, topping Switzerland and Japan.
Just realized I paid over $5 for an ice cream cone yesterday. :/ #norwayrobbery twitter.com/jonk/status/33…

which makes this look like a great deal! (btw, i highly highly recommend Pingvinen in Bergen. delish, and as i now know, a steal!)
I got the fish soufflé. Oy Norway *is* expensive. $27.50ish for this, in a gastropub. twitter.com/jonk/status/33…
