......bummed up Kicks: Oslo


Majorstuen

I arrived in Oslo with 20kgs of life packed into my backpack and 20 hour bags packed under my eyes.

View from my window, you can see the Mtn on the right

Since then i have gained a House, a bed, 2 couches, shelves, tables, a love for IKEA, an old 90's hair dryer, a job, new friends, a hatred for IKEA, chairs, jeans, shoes, debt, a Gym membership and more hangovers then you can shake a chicken salsa burger at.

Bedroom

We live in a 3 bedroom apartment in Majorstuen, which the boys did really well in finding. Just a short walk to work and its 1 or 2 stops from the center of town (more of a city really). I am working in a really cool little Cafe/Restaurant/Bar which i am really enjoying as well.

The city itself is really compact, so you can walk a lot of places, and once i get a bike you can get almost everywhere. There are lots of parks located all around the City and when the weather is good everyone gets down there in bikinis and shorts and has a bbq. They really make the most of the good weather in summer, any excuse to be outside and they are.

Its not as expensive as i thought it was going to be. Only a little more then Australia. The big difference is Alcohol. Spirits cost an arm and a leg, or just lots of money if you would prefer to pay that way. You cant buy Alcohol on Sunday (Bottle shops etc) and there Alcohol laws are really tight.

Expensive alcohol and cheap Gyms....Maybe there is a link here as to why everyone is so good looking?

Needless to say i have landed on my feet (hence the need to purchase shoes) in Oslo and its looking like its only going to get better.
