Maybe I should move there. I can't do my gym routine at home, and I can gain weigth just by smelling food. Maybe a couple of months in Finland will keep me thin, albeit I am not very fond of broccoli.

Ahh, yes, pizza! A large traditional garbage pizza! One of my favorite diet foods. Right up there with ribs . . .

70 cents for a can of coke is cheap compare t England, it's about 50p at cheapest places here, thats like 90 cents, at a gass station, it'll be like a $1.

Hmmm. Didn't get to try Finnish pizza during my few days in Turku and Helsinki, but I'll betcha it beats a Norwegian burrito. (On the train ride from Bergen to Oslo, I wandered into the restaurant car and found that all they had left for hot food was a "chicken wrap". I was about halfway through it before I figured out that this was somehow intended to be Mexican food.

The only culinary specialty that Norway is renowned for is their outrageous prices on food

Well, glad you like the food! after all, that's what really matters

p.s. cokes (20oz) at my school are $1 and at wal-mart they are 75c. (they may be lower, I do remember cans being 40c though)

Welcome back to the US of A.

Are you staying for good?

After growing up in the Midwest, moving to Los Angeles was a culture shock for me.

Hey, let's not forget lutefisk and rakørret (mmm...fermented trout!). Rakørret doesn't seem terribly well-known outside Norway, though, probably because it's tough to get it out of the country -- I've been told it's illegal to carry tinned rakørret in your airline baggage. The tins have a bad habit of exploding unexpectedly due to changes in cabin pressure.

(Although I was very amused, when planning our Scandinavian vacation, to find a guidebook which claimed that the national dish of Norway was frozen pizza.)

welcome to Pennsylvania

. I myself just spent two and a half weeks out in the homecountry (Poland). Coming back here has been a shock. It was nice to have lunch as a family of four for 6 or 7 dollars. Food is the states is insanely expensive. And getting used to driving in the US is a fun time. What I'm only going 70? Has to be at least a 100

. And I must say, even though the roads in Poland were must worse than those in the US, my first day driving back here was scary as anything. Drivers here simply suck.
