Answer 1

I've been to Norway at least 20 times over the last 15 years during winter, spring and summer. That said, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I haven't ventured further than the southern-ish parts...Oslo, Drammen, Mysen. I have friends who are Norwegian, which is why I go so frequently.

It is a very, very expensive place to stay. Since I stay with friends, I can spend three months there (I teach and get long vacations), but if you have to pay for a hotel, be prepared. There really are no budget lodgings to be found!

I don't drink, but I believe that a glass of beer runs around 60 kroner, which is a little under $10. Eating a chicken mcnugget combo with fries and soda at McDonald's runs a little over $10. The good news is that goods seem to have gone down a bit in price over the past decade, or at least there are more "cheap" goods available than there used to be. When I first went to Norway, I remember that the selection of items in the grocery stores was appalling, but now there is much more variety. The variety of ethnic restaurants has also improved tremendously over the past 10 years with the influx of more and more immigrants to the country. That has made going out to eat much more affordable -- and much more pleasurable as I don't find Norwegian food very exciting (or even edible in the case of their fish balls!)

It is a beautiful country and has great public transportation. You will find most Norwegians very reserved, but almost everyone speaks some English, and the younger generation speaks it quite well.

I love Norway, and I've even learned to love Norwegians although they can be very "special"! :)

Answer 2

Norway is probably one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive, place to go in Europe. Burgers were ten dollars each fifteen years ago. This is not a bargain travelers heaven. But it is spectacular. Take a train cross country and a boat up the coast. Lonely Planet guides are helpful. If you don't want to buy one, go to a larger bookstore and see if they have one onhand. Investigate travel possibilities and current costs for food, travel and lodging from there. This kind of a travelers tool is indispensible.

Answer 3

If you're doing some budgeting these website should help you cost a few things. Everyday things like a drink or meal are fairly average to European prices.

The accommodation can be sorted by star rating, location and price.

It's just a start, but good luck with your planning

I used to make domicile made dogs biscuits purely for relaxing for my friends dogs and particular we ate some. they're no different than different baked products yet greater wholesome bc we tend to sweeten and fat up our human consumables. Munch on. they're severe high quality to consume. some thing your dogs eats you are able to desire to consume. I wouldn't bypass attempting to consume their food on a nicely-liked beginning place as we've different nutritional needs than a dogs besides the reality that it wouldn't injury all and numerous to consume a domestic dog biscuit.
