Of course, their income tax is about 53%, anything and everything associated with owning a car is about 3x as much as it is here, unless it is a truck or van, in which case it is much more. People do not eat out nearly as much because doing so is so expensive. Summer lasts about six weeks and winter lasts about 40 weeks. But the beer is decent, certainly better than the food, unless you are big on pickled herring.
