Norway
Our fellow border Bergen lives in the 2nd most expensive country in the world. See the link below.
So Bergen what do you think about the article? Is it a true representation of what you see day to day?

Re: Norway
Not reading the article but it’s well known that Norway is expensive. But wages are also a lot higher, as is happiness and the state of their infrastructure and health care.

Re: Norway
Hello from Bergen,
It is true I am afraid. Especially for tourists it is very expensive. But AW is right that wages are higher so for those of us who live here its not a big problem.
I also find it different from UK that the (high) price levels are pretty much the same all over Norway, while I have always found London much more expensive than the rest of the UK.

Re: Norway
I was young!
I read about Orient in a football magazine called 90 minutes back in 1993 or 1994. I was fascinated and has followed the club as closely as I could ever since. Today its easy to keep up to date, but back then it was difficult to find enough information. Thankfully there was a guy called Martin P. Smith who was running something "Leyton Orient International Pen Pals" and he was very helpful.
