That's true, but don't forget "smoke"... Ehhh... and "eat"... and "sleep"... and travel...
I don't smoke, eating is not that expensive (depends of course where you go, but I have been up giving 700 dkr pr person here). Last time we was renting a 80 m2 apartment with sauna, LCD tv and so on, just for 4 people, at a nice skiing center rather close (you take the ski on and go a bit) only cost us around 15 000 dkr (for the apartment only, nothing else. Perhaps a bit more). Dining out and buying food etc was not that bad.
And it was not lousy quality. The apartment was stone-floored (heated, of course) and it had a fireplace and all that kind of stuff. Nice "antique" kictchen open in a part of the lounge, 2 bedrooms (1 for the parents, another for me and my little brother), bath with a sauna (4 person), extra room for the ski/clothes and so on.
At a place close to we had access to squash, swimming pools and more.
Compared to what the little trip to south africa costed us, the price for the apartment is barely even a flight ticket hehe
Right now we are looking for flight tickets to Havana, Cuba. Yeah, i'll bring some cigars hehe
Edit: Forgot to mention. No matter HOW much money you have to throw around its completely insane not to bring beer&wine from denmark. We imported some great wine from Italy earlier last year (and a few bottles from South africa), which we brang. Also a bottle of jaeger-meister (purchased in denmark. Probably at 300% less than the norwegian price heh) hehe
EDIT2:
I forgot to complain. In norway I couldnt buy alcohol because I was under 21!!! ON THE BOAT! I was purchasing a nice bottle of some great (swedish i think) vodka, and the man at the desk asked me for ID. I gave him my DRIVERS LICENSE and he just said no. NOW i asked my mother to come with me, she bought the bottle while i was standing a bit asside, and he asked my mom if she knew that buying alcohol for me was illegal
I mean who the hell do he think i am. Someone who goes around drinking all the time? Didn't it occour to him that we were customers, and he should mind his own business?
Next time a norwegian shop-thing does this to me i'll kick his sorry butt
hehehehe
