... family and friends. To name a tiny few. I revisited my two favorite childhood beaches along Glomma, the largest river in Norway. I enjoyed a few good parties with friends both in Elverum and Oslo, and rediscovered the meaning of a flipping fun nachspiel ( ...

After a lovely holiday from the holiday in Melbourne, I'm back in Europe, this time in Oslo, Norway. I've fallen in love with Oslo, but maybe that is because the weather has been so nice. It's actually hot here! And is is only dark for a couple of hours ...

... credit card, it would be stupid to get into debt on a country that looks far less exciting than Norway anyway (sorry Kristian!). So, I booked a flight from Tromso to Oslo with the aim of finishing my jaunt on a high... My only regret on this trip, as ...

... you need a coin to get in. It's like no free sauce with your meat pie! What are they thinking? Getting the bus to Oslo was an interesting experience to say the least. We like to call it Adventures with Spot, Dick and Jane. We got asked to mind ...

My trip to Norway began with a couple of nights in Oslo, and although my first impressions weren't great, I warmed to it in the end. Perhaps I was a little underwhelmed because the bus journey from the airport had been very scenic, and suddenly I was stuck ...

Le voyage en train de stockholm a oslo fut merveilleux!!! Je crois bien avoir vu 1000 lacs! Il faisait un soleil superbe et dans le confort de ma premiere classe ( c`est quelque chose!) j`ai pu apprecier tous les merveilleux paysages. Parfois le passage ...

My time at home was up and I had to leave home for Boulder again. I needed a follow up on my neck, so I couldn't stay in Oslo any longer. The time flew by. I had a great month at home (except for the weather.) Went for long walks in the woods with Chili ( ...

Greetings from the smallest capital city in Scandinavia...the city of Oslo, Norway.  What a beautiful journey entering the Norwegian Fjords to arrive in this city which is also the site of the Nobel Peace Prize Award each year.    We ...

... but nothing unusual to report. We tried a couple of the cafes near my apartment. There's a "Bagel O Juice" and a "Kaffebrenneriet" (Oslo's Starbucks). Bagels aren't bad, but not like back home ;-). My mocha is a little odd - they don't use sweetened ...

... to see the ski jump.  Wow, it was awesome, amazing and a rewarding experience.  Great views, supposedly it is Norway's most visited tourist attraction.  We were already behind our depature for Stockholm but we too wanted to see The Vigeland ...

... the last we saw of St. Lucia, but the drive to the airport was nice. St. Lucia is truly a gorgeous place. Safely back home in Oslo, I couldn't even find my own car on the street where I'd left it. Lol! It had snowed in and I had to dig it out for 2 ...

Oslo was quite strange due to the fact that at 1 am it was so sunny out it looked like it was 6 PM. We don't think that it every got dark. Taking part in a Norwegien delicacy we enjoyed some waffles with something called brown cheese or Gjetost. The ...

A VERY quick day in Oslo, although I think we saw most of the sites.  We had a really warm day, probably the warmest of the trip!  There were Norwegians sunbaking in every park or grassed area - they do not need a beach to do it!  We ...

Hali! Az utolsó hetekben már tervezgetni kellett, mit kell még megnézned Osloban, amit szerettél volna, elkezdeni készülgetni a vizsgákra hébe-hóba. Utolsó előtti héten az egyik osztállyal tettünk pár kirándulást olyan intézményeknél, amelyek éppen ellenezték, vagy ...

Well, here I was bragging to my ex that I had the correct passport to enter the US, and he had to get a new one. Well, that karma certainly came back to bite me in the butt. 10 days before the trip my passport got stolen. Grrrr... and here, a new one has ...

Helló mindenki!!! Hát, tegnap szerencsésen megérkeztem Norvégiába, Osloba. Hogy mit is keresek én itt? Még tavaly ősszel megpályáztam a MÖB-nél a norvég nyári egyetem ösztöndíját, ahol külpolitikai vonatkozású kurzuson szerettem volna részt venni. Akit bővebben érdekel a nyári ...
