Norway, and espcially the capital, Oslo, is ridiculous expensive.
I guess you heard before!
The prices here does not compare to anywhere else. Gardemoen Oslo is rated as the most expensive airport in the world.
That being said you can still enjoy some days here with out breaking the bank!
That meaning staying in guesthouses or do couhsurfing, minimum transportation (forget about Taxis- even the Pirat (illigals) ones charge hefty these days, get food at the local supermarket, eating at the "cheap" foregin places and street snack (7/11 pizza, bagel, hot dog etc). And offcourse the drinking, wich for many its the major cost.
This is the kinda of place where even a 100 USD won't guarantee you a decent meal!
Food is generally not that good and expensive.
Taking a girl out---forget it! Fuck a wining and dining! Better stick to a cafe date.
For those wanting to come to "the land of one-night" stands, here is alittle price list as of June the 19th to help you see what to expect and plan better.
