bom + pigg

Kind of a cool word - bom. (pronounced boom) But not a cool thing. Bom is the fee you pay to enter Oslo. When you drive through the invisible border somewhere around Skoyen, you get charged 20 kroner. That is about 3 dollars. And now there is a new bom for Baerum county. This is just after my office building, so luckily I do not pay it every day. And that is 12 kroner, about 2 dollars. So, getting into Oslo, just to get in mind you, is 5 dollars. And in the winter time there is another fee. Pigg. An even cooler word! Piggdekk. This means studded tires. You have to pay a fee each time you enter Oslo with piggdekk. A good solution is to buy an electric car - no bom!
