How Much is Much?

Everything is proportional. Quality is proportional, beauty is proportional, fun is proportional and so is money and everything else. I was thinking that how much we are willing to pay for different services and items and is it justified to pay double or triple for the same things in different countries?

I was in Norway, well one could ask that why did I go there; everyone knows it is bloody expensive country. But still, do you think it is justified to pay £20 for a hamburger, an apple and a bottle of diet coke at a service station?

I was somewhere on my way from Bergen to Stryn when I stopped for a call of nature and was hoping to get some grub as well since I knew that stopping for a decent meal would make my journey even longer. When the lady behind the counter told me that my grub would be 210 Norwegian kroner – I spontaneously asked: HOW MUCH? - Tvåhundra tio kroner - That is twenty quid I said, but the expression on her face did not change at all and I understood that – yes it is 20 quid for a hamburger, an apple and a bottle of diet coke.
