the price of living in copenhagen
i took one of those hop on/hope off bus tours today. upon paying the driver we started up a little chat so i asked him how people survive in this expensive city. his reply was 'have you been to norway? go there and see how good we have it here. cigarettes cost 10 euros per pack!'. then he continued, 'people visit and think we have it really good here but really it's only the really rich that do. everybody else has their coffee and beer at home – we just cannot afford to eat out'.

Did you notice all the people drinking out in the street? When I was there there were even middle aged-older woman in their opera/cocktail outfits drinking in the center square before/after going out! Hope you sent regards to the Australian crown princess...what a fairytale story that one is! :-)
