Oh, no, another one!! 16C in Copenhagen - how do I translate this into Farengheit? Divulge by 32, then what?

And how will I translate the purchases - 79 kronas, 5.66 kronas per 1 US dollar - how much is this?

I am in a state of panic

Never mind the kronas; have a Corona

Approximate reading would be 16 times 2 plus 30= 62 I don't know if this helps, but here goes. 1. Norway-- .1674 = 1 US dollar 2. Denmark-- .1770 = 1 US dollar As of todays currency exchange. We are also getting ready for our departure on Tuesday. To answer your specfic question, one has to know the country as three of the countries use different Krona. Richard

opps; Sorry, this was the 'fun' thread.

Dayenu

LOL with so many threads one gets easily confused!

I will ask the banks how to translate Celcius in Farenheit. As for Kronas... if I flush a bunch of dollars held as a fan they will look at me with great respect!

(seriously, we both grew up in USSR with metric system and C temps, so it's not a problem) - especially after a couple of Coronas

RainyDay09

Dayenu, where in the USSR are you from? Vy otkuda? я из алматы.

They have Corona in Scandinavia? Why didn't we know that?

Dayenu

Sure, they have kings/queens, they have Coronas

Rainy, from Belarus, came in 1989 the old way - through Austria and Italy. Now in San Francisco, dreaming of going back to see the places where we stayed. Hopefully, next year!

Dayenu; My grandmother was from Vilnus. Perhaps we're cousins. Any Tulpinski's today. That's not a drink. If it was it would be very strong.

Hey Bugler, Dayenu...I do know a used car dealer in Copenhagen. But actually you don't want to buy a new car because of high tax. Anyway don't gorge yourself on the herring.
Bill now in Boston

Dayenu

Herring will raise my blood pressure Is it true, they have herring circus, or those Golden Girls lied on TV?

We bot the tix from Delta, but they moved us to KLM, I don't want to fly in a wooden viking plane, what do I do? File a complaint with Ikea?

iris1745

Are you sure the Vikings are flying??

Bugler

Seems like the only herring what would raise a Russian's blood pressure is a RED Herring.

Hey the Vikings conquered most of the world at one time in their wooden ships. Don't underestimate a Viking!!

P_M

I believe today is Dayenu's travel day--BON VOYAGE and please try not to scare the Vikings too much.

Dayenu

Now that we are home, why their coins have holes in them? Is it to follow the European tradition of Swiss cheese?

Ozarksbill

Oh boy (and girl) are we looking for your trip report/retreat/release/recount/rehash!
Bill in Boston

Dayenu

A few more days... you will learn how to steal bread rolls, how useful Russian is in Alesund, see my husband with Elvis Presley, oh, and by the way, they'd checked me out for explosives!

The coins have holes in them so you can see what coins you have, even if they are in a pile. It is really quite ingenious.
