OK, now that that is out of the way, I thought I would point out that I only realised a few weeks ago that "segue" is segway....
Anyway, Oslo was amazing, that's all there is to say.
I stayed at my friend Nicolai's (who I'm sure you'll remember I met in Japan last summer) flat in the centre of the city.
It is not a huge city, but it sure is expensive! I paid the equivalent of over £7 for 500ml of Guinness, and that was from a can!Honestly, however, I can't say I was that bothered as I was enjoying myself too much.
Me, Nicolai, his girlfriend YanXi, and his flatmates all went bowling on the first night, which ended in complete disgrace for me as usual because I am a horrible bowler. Another day we went to see The Expendables, which was a brilliant mindless romp, with all the big names (and norwegian subtitles).On Friday I think it was, we ended up at a Chinese Christian BBQ in a church where we gatecrashed a wedding. (Don't ask). Lots of craziness for sure! We also visited Sognsvann that day, a really nice lake and forest on the outskirts of Oslo.
I also did the standard tourist-y stuff like visiting the town hall, the habour etc. The pictures will speak for themselves. Enjoy!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the vast majority of Norwegians I met, spoke perfect English as well which was useful. Another point I will make is that DAMN Oslo is expensive! also that I find it hilarious that the Norwegian word for "Orange" is "Appelsin" despite the fact that Appelsin clearly signals to english speakers ANYTHING BUT oranges. I think this is best summed up in the words of a friend of mine.
"Maybe apple is orangesin" :D
Well, thats enough out of me for the time being, i have more jetsetting to do! TO GREECE!
See you in another week!
{EDIT}
PS. After Oslo, I never want to eat brownies again.
