might be more like 90% - and they all drink way too much when abroad

i`ve been around but dont like to travel very much, its ok if its no hassel and i have
some company i`m comfortable with - no backpacking across anything for me, like
to have rooms/apartments rented in advance and a comfortable way of getting to
them if going on vacations or something like that. One thing i never quite "get" are
those trips that are a little cheaper but you dont know excactly what hotel you`re
going to, so you risk spending 14 days at a dump, i like to know what i`m going to,
no annoying surprises.
A fellow norwegian i see btw - nice place Bergen, but you have that rain-thing going on

When I was on the study trip to York, we drank quite a lot. The English people there thought Norwegians had to be real drunkards. But no wonder that we drink there, as alcohol in England is practically FREE. Or more exact, one third the Norwegian price. The same applies to many other places, like the Canaries. I have travelled quite a lot on this last minute trips. They are CHEAP. Thats the good side of it. And, actually, the hotels were quite ok. As long as I get my own bathroom and its clean, Im happy. I even have got my own verandah. But to be honest, the Canaries are a bit boring. I consider Thailand this year, but as I a naturist, thats not the best choice. Besides it takes a lot more time on the plane. And its TOO hot for me. The Canaries are quite ok when it comes to temperature in winter times.
I live in Bergen now, but I am orginally from outside Oslo. I think Bergen is the nicest place in Norway. Maybe a bit much rain, particularly in the autumn, but you get used to it...
