Haha. Yeah, it's ridiculous how much emphasis is put on a simple number. I think I'm just going to be honest, and try to explain that I'm not a child.. I'd feel bad about lying and it'd probably come into light eventually, which would make things worse.

I'm trying to be selective about everyone. I have emergency money, so if I get a weird feeling I can just go somewhere else.

Yeah, it seems like it might be difficult, but here's hoping! Thank you though--I really appreciate your advice. Norway is at the top of my list of places to travel to, so I might take you up on that offer one day. :)

Thanks again!
