oslo is much more expensive than copenhagen in my experience. i've never stayed in a hotel in oslo, but a burger, a pack of fags and two beers costs more than a hotel room in the rest of the world. no joke.

Which country is the most expensive for Super 8 film? We could run our own "Super 8 Cost of Living League Table"!

To make it fair, the benchmark would have to be the lowest price charged for a single cartridge of 64T supplied by a traditional 'over-the-counter' shop.

Presumably the USA would be bottom of the table - But would Norway be top???

One shop here sold K40 for about 64 USD pr. cart. beat that if you can...
I suspect they didnt move much...

But I think you'll find no one is lining up to go to these places though.

Certainly can't see myself interested in visiting any of these.

Nothing wrong with Mumbai or Manila and Asuncion, Tripoli, New Delhi. For a welfaring traveller there is plenty to see and do.

If you'd happen to move to Helsinki then I'd be happy to show you around the city. I'm spending my vacation downtown and I've got a lots of time on my hands.

i don't know. a lot of people go to tehran, mainly exile iranians but those are plenty and a majority of the american who visit sweden are of swedish decent too. i know a lot of people who go to costa rica and india too.

Certainly can't see myself interested in visiting any of these.

really? why not? all of them seem interesting to me, although tashkent wouldn't be on top of my list.

thanks for the offer to helsinki, but i don't think I'll be making it by that way! I wante to shoot up to see mattias, but I think we'll end up spending our time in the southern end, until we take the train to budapest.
