LNIDA,
whilst I can see your point
"they need to get a grip on wages in Norway, it might be a rich country, but €30k a year for flipping burgers is just silly."
Did you check the price of a MickieD last time you were in OSL ? ( & we won't even mention what is asked for the Beer to wash it down
)
Senior CC in OSL net around 4500€/mth vs 1500€ ? in Spain, however, I have been told that renting a small 32m studio & paying service bills accounts for at least 2000€/mth in Olso vs 750? in AGP (even less in ALC ) . . . so, we shouldn't compare Apples with Oranges.
