Norwegians at the duty free

Letting Norwegians loose in the duty free store is like letting kids loose in Disneyland…

Tax free

A 1l bottle of Martini Bianco is 150 NOK (25 USD) at the monopoly store in Norway. At the airport it’s 50 NOK (8.5 USD).

    Haha. That reminds me of the ferries between Norway and Sweden. People bring those 2-wheeled trolleys for carting all their boxes of booze.

    Now there’s a government advisory council that honest-to-God recommends doing away with duty-free. And this right before the municipal elections here in Norway. Lean back and let the fireworks fly, I say… ;-)

    Your post reminded me when I visited Norway during last year of HIGH rate tax. At least tax is deniable in the airport, isn’t it?

    Seems like it’s all the same in the whole Scandinavia… Ferries between Finland and Sweden look like that also. Basicly those ferries are just floating liquor stores.

    I mostly fetch as much as I can on the ferries between Denmark and Sweden/Norway, too! :D
