Pretend I'm rich, real rich...

First, I must apologize for how boring my last bloggamooga entry was. Oy.

Next, I must report that Dana and I just consulted an international currency converter online, and it turns out we're nearly rich. We thought the Euro was about $1.90 Canadian. So our 30-Euro dinner splurge last night would have cost close to $60, which we would never spend back in Canada! And the pair of cool books that Dana bought yesterday, I Still Believe in Miracles, a two-book catalogue for a show we saw at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, cost 50 Euros, which we thought was close to a sawbuck. But, in reality, the Euro is only CAN$1.50! Imagine our joy!

I hadn't griped here yet about the price of everything in Norway, but here are a few examples, a result of the unbelievable exchange rate with the Kroner... public toilet: $4. bus ride: $6. half-pint of beer: $10. chana masala: $25. medium pizza: $30. can of Coke: $4. chicken kebab: $10 (and that's the real bargain food of Norway).

We're very lucky in Canada.

Over and out.
