I hate Strøget and is a bit annoyed with Nyhavn - it's just tourist traps, but drinking beer in Nyhavn in the sun is nice. Just buy your own and sit by the dock.
I don't mind Strøget for the shopping but maybe because I don't know of other places where one can spend money on unnecessary stuff :D

And I agree about everything you said on Nyhavn but the area is very nice when it's not windy.

Ukraine, Croatia or Slovakia. These are the places I'm thinking. I want to visit every European country at some point in my life. Already done all of the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary. Lots and lots left to see.

Just don't come here if you want to drink. Or eat, for that matter :D

Norway. €11 for a pint :touched:

Some pubs on the eastern parts of Oslo, you can get it for €8.

:shocked: That's absolutely shocking, but then the standard of living is probably much much better than here so you don't need as much alcohol to enjoy life.

The drinking culture here is pretty bad, actually. Meaning, a lot of people drink. The reason, I believe, is state regulations on the matter. Since the 50s, there has been very strict regulations on what kind of alcohol you are allowed to buy in stores, and at which hours you can buy them, and it has resulted in a pretty vulgar drinking culture. Instead of enjoying a few beers and glasses of wine, there's a wide tendency in Norway to go binge drinking.

The reason for the high pricing is just that the Norwegian economy is really strong, and we have very high wages.

Well ya that goes without saying, it's also a good deterrent for keeping broke Irish lager louts out of your country :D

Urban Outfitters?

I was never able to find Abercrombie and Fitch though, where is that located?

Today I literally raided Strøget, I managed to buy what I want in 90 minutes just in time before the stores closed.
The main store is at a side street near The Dubliner, if you know where that's at. I buy in many different shops, but I also like to buy my clothes in Magasin and Illum. You find everything there.
