The Lounge / Re: Beer - prices, brands and shapes over Europe
« on: Thursday, March 17, 2016, 12:13:57 PM »The thing is, when you compare the prices over Europe you must have in account the cost of life in that country, here in Lisbon if you pay 5 euros for a beer is pretty expensive since our medium salary it's something like 700/800 euros/month but for a swiss or a nordic guy 5 euros must be cheap since they make 4000/5000 euros/month. I went to Czech Republic 2 years ago in the summer and is really cool, not only culturally but also the booze, the girls are great and the prices are really fair. But i would advise Hungary/Budapest i can't even put it in words... it's simply amazing.You're totally correct. Plus, if you went somewhere more than 10 years ago, you would need to take into account inflation as well...
That's why it's easier to talk in relative terms. So if I live here in Estonia and I go somewhere where (for me) beer is cheap, I'll call it cheap. If someone comes to the same place from somewhere where everything is even cheaper, they might call it expensive. It's just comparing it to your own country/wages.
I've been to Budapest, it truly was a very nice place!
It was around 6 years ago, but looking down at the river from the castle was magical!
