The most expensive country in the world, but he people make up for it
I would of stayed away from this country as it will empty out your wallet faster than any other place in the world (if you are on USD of course), but a friend from my university named Olav is from and lives here.
The couple of times I have been here, I usually stay around Oslo. However one time, there was a festival so we ventured out (into some unpronounceable town). Upon arrival I jumped in with Olav and his friend and we drove to a small town and went to a bar. Mind you I am still tired from my journey and trying to figure out what is going on, but we went to a small bar on the water and had drinks. Low and behold Olav turns up missing and I am stuck with one of his friends. I had no place to stay at all, so I ended up staying with his friend at his brothers families house. To my delight I woke up the next morning to a wonderful Norwegian breakfast. It was onto the little town for the festival as we got a hotel and fit four guys in a small room (still dont know how). We went to the rocks by the sea and I watched people jump off rocks into the water and also we drank a hell load. We went back to shower then headed to the festival and had a memorable night of pouring 400 dollar bottles of champagne all over each other…
The various times back in Oslo I usually make it a point to go to Frongerparken as it is a relaxed place in the middle of Oslo. I usually watch people jump around on the naked statues and take pictures. We always frequent restaurants and bars and usually stay out until very late at night. We even ran across an American Football game being played there (of all places in Norway).
Would I go back here? Yea as long as I have a place to stay as I took a thirty minute taxi ride to the airport which cost me 130 US. Like I said, come loaded if you are going to Norway!!!!
