Hey, Yud,

Thanks for the welcome and the useful information!

However, you did not mention about the hospitals. Could you please tell me how they are?

Thanks again!
Ravi.

here is a recent week's advertisement from a large Swedish grocery chain: coop.ecbook.se/coop/konsum/?store=101610

It is in Swedish but illustrated, so you can see what cost how much.
