Molle SjölanderNorwegian blues 1/3
As a kid, I'd go to Norway regularly. Before our westerly brethren struck oil and got -- and stayed! good job, you guys! -- filthy rich, Swedes would cross the border to buy sugar, flour, butter, syrup, and the like. One person = one ration, so people would cram their little cars full of kids, and the occasional cat, and stock up on these essential foodstuffs. Most people weren't all that well off in those days, so it wasn't just for the nice outing. You were skimping any way you could.
Since then, Norway has been insanely expensive for Swedes. My trips there as an adult have been few and brief. Lately, though, the two neighbouring currencies are kinda seeing eye to eye, so we decided to FINALLY make a trip. Yay!
