        Reading anything in a Nordic language reminds me of the opening credits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

        It was probably the $200 guy using an online translator to throw you off.

              Lol. They have them in SOME sizes. However I've found their straps are really thin and have a tendency to bite into my shoulders. I only buy them when they are on sale for those times you want something super cute. :3

              As for that guy. Really now? Seven bucks? With the fees paypal probably charges for transferring currency into a different one it would probably be less than four dollars! :P

                Incidentally, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland all use their own "Kroner" currencies - Kroner meaning "crowns" - each with it's own exchange rate. Some of them also still use fractions of a Kroner, called øre - but single øre are no longer in use, only fairly large groups of them.

                The Icelandic Kroner is abbreviated ISK, hence the name of the currency used in Eve Online, whose developers are based in Iceland. The others are abbreviated SEK, NOK, DKK respectively.

                Finland is the only Nordic country not using a "Kroner" currency. Currently the Euro is used (and Finland has one of the strongest Euro economies at the moment), but previously the local currency was the Markka (FIM).

                  Yes it is, its the size where bras become uncute, and you grind your teeth in rage that the only colors available with that size and beyond are like...beige, black, and white.

                    Why does he call himself "Dr. Doom", when he is a monarch and never really got his degree from Empire State U.? He should be called King Victor.

                        Dr. Doom has a much better ring to it. Sounds more menacing.

                          Danish is hard and the language rules are non exsisting.
                          It must be hard to enforce grammar rules when there aren't that many.

                            I apologise for my compatriot. The spelling is indeed Danish though the word-order and (oh, god) the punctuation makes me think the guy is semi-illiterate.

                            Your English, however, is perfect.

                              Oh no, it isn't . I hope it's understandable, but I don't expect anything more.

                                Mikkel, honestly, I thought you were a native English speaker. When I learned you were Danish I was astonished. There are people in my own country who do not speak English anywhere near as well as you do.
