> So $27 is probably the price of a meal in an expensive restaurant. That wouldn't qualify as an expensive restaurant in any Western country, let alone Norway (one of the most expensive countries in the world). $27 in Norway would get you about three Big Macs. A nice restaurant would be well north of $100 ($250+ if we agree on what nice is).
