They're quite affordable for us. 3599 kroner is a cosy price.<BR/><BR/>If you convert kroner into, for example, the dollar, it sounds expensive, but that is because our standard of living is different. Not to mention the fact that the dollar is frightfully weak.<BR/><BR/>Converted into dollars our wages are much higher. A bartender will make $20 an hour, which is roughly the minimum wage.
