Of all the places I have visited Oslo (and perhaps somewhere else in Norway) is the only place I would consider moving outside of Canada. I wanted to move here last year after I was here. I don't know quite what it is!! I love this city.
We went to some museums and ended up shopping (oh no more stuff to carry on our backs). There are water fountains everywhere and a park in almost every second block. Kind of excessive but nice. There's also naked statues everywhere. The most extreme is frognerparken which I think most of you saw pictures of last year. But really there are naked statues everywhere. It's very bizarre. But the streets are clean and it's just a pretty city. The architecture isn't anything amazing (not like Budapest or what I expect Prague to be like). But it is on the water with fjords.
Well heading onto Flam tomorrow. It costs as much to make train reservations in this country as what it did to buy a 5 or 6 hour train tickets in most of the Eastern European countries (roughly 20.00 CDN). But lots of things are comparable to Canada with the exception of food. We saw a restaurant advertising a special of french fries, hamburger and coke to what would be 15.00 CDN!!! Crazy!! We have been buying bread and other cheap food from the grocery store. OK have to go. Having an awesome time!!!
