How's that possible? OK alcohol taxes, but too much is too much.
What comes to the food, meatballs and salmon get the first places! I could eat fresh salmon everyday in all the ways they prepare it here.... for the rest of food it seems for my palate everything tastes pretty "tasteless", I know this is because I am too used to elaborated, spicy, mediterranean food, but I already managed to prepare a grrrreat salmon pasta: "fusilli al salmone ed asparagi"!!!!
Buon appetito!

You're right. It's confusing for me, too. For example, a spectacle in my place is about 100 euros, but in Finland, it can be 300 to 350 euros, (
65 Degrees North - News and views from Oulu - Rent a New Pair of Glasses?), which means, along with some travel discount, buying a spectacle in Finland costs the same for a spectacle in Thailand and a trip to Thailand. The ridiculous part is, the producing cost of a spectacle is only about 10 euros.
I can guess the high price of food in Finland might be transportation, high fuel price and the fact that Finland depends on food import. But how about every thing else?
