Oslo, Norway Travel Living Costs
By Nick | July 21, 2008
The place with the cool Opera house, Sydney Australia is one of the most frequented place in the land of Oz for backpackers. The city of Sydney is stunning being located right on the water, and the harbour is beautiful, as well as the beaches. With a currency basically equal to the USD and living cost index pretty close as well, Australia might be thought of as a slightly different carbon copy of the US - economically and culturally.
