Cost of Living Notes

A few notes today on the cost of traveling in Scandinavia.

Is it expensive? Compared to Jacksonville, yes.
Is it outrageous? Judge for yourself'.

Below I have listed some data from an International Cost of Living Index.
The score of 100 is the mean so use that as a baseline score. New York was the base city for the survey with a score of 100.

City and Score
Moscow 142
Tokyo 127
London 125
Oslo 118
Copenhagen 117
Milan 111
Paris 109
Dublin 103
Athens 99
Warsaw 95

For example: what would cost you roughly $1.00 in Athens would cost $1.18 in Oslo.

Think about your spending money and what you want to take away from Scandinavia.
