Ouch........

So many of my family members know I have been sending letters and cards to family back in the United States.  Since I moved here the price for stamps to send letters has been 9.5 krones (~$1.75).

 But now the price for stamps has increased to 13 kr (~$2.37). 

The price increased by 3.5 krones (~$0.65).  After going through such a huge increase in price those 4 cent stamp increases do not seem so bad.
