@kampung – good one, I knew they were having issues, did not realize the drop has been so severe, and it wasn’t an expensive country at the prior levels.
You wouldn’t happen to be going to the Tromso film festival would you? If so maybe I’ll see you there.
@GB – I had no idea. I took it because I have to have a layover on the 19th coming back from Svalbard and the town looks interesting. Maybe you’ll have a chance to meet that night? I will email you.
@GB – got an email bounce when wrote you, let me know if you will be around then.
@John I was just going to mention the Big Mac Index!
@John, @Dan @ Points With a Crew – reminds me I had forgotten about that since The Economist stopped putting it in the print edition, it is a great tool.
PS: I just heard back from Venque and the weight of the XL Briefback Bag is 1.95 lbs! I am always looking for the next great bag and this bag is functional, light, stylish and reasonable which might make it my next new bag. Thanks Stefan for the lead…..
@John – sounds great. It is a bit small to be a full overnight bag unless you pack really like, though versatile as a large briefcase and doesn’t look like an overnight bag, which I like. My first trip with the Milano was good, only feature I still am not thrilled is the strap for attaching to a suitcase requires the back pocket to be open.
Nice post. Here is something called The Big Mac index that breaks down the world vs the dollar and best bang for your buck that might interest some readers.
