If there was one thing about Scandinavia that was a shock (although hardly an unexpected one), it was just how expensive everything is. Routine dinners edge close to $200. If you want to buy a $40,000 car, the tax rate is 180%, meaning the taxes alone are $72,000, thus making a $40,000 car actually cost $112,000. Ah well, I guess they've gotta figure out ways to pay for all that.......well, you know. 😱
