The whole of Scandanavia is quite expensive, I believe they have a different tax system where they don't pay so much income tax but pay more on consumer goods.Chips and Chocolate wrote:Is it really THAT bad?xDAVEYx wrote:take a LOT of moneyChips and Chocolate wrote:Any tips on what to do in Oslo, going there for 3 days in the summer?

I did a tour of Sweden and Denmark last year and it was actually alright, I think the tax system you're on about only applies to Norway (not sure though)...JMascis666 wrote:The whole of Scandanavia is quite expensive, I believe they have a different tax system where they don't pay so much income tax but pay more on consumer goods.Chips and Chocolate wrote:Is it really THAT bad?xDAVEYx wrote:take a LOT of moneyChips and Chocolate wrote:Any tips on what to do in Oslo, going there for 3 days in the summer?
