Hi.

So I'm going to Oslo for a couple of weeks. Anything I should be aware of? Any suggestions for things which I just have to see. Also something fun to do might be nice!

Yeah - very high prices Laughing
Seriously tho, there is quite a lot of pickpocketing in Oslo, like any large european city I guess. And the gypsies are everywhere...

Anyways

You should go see Holmenkollen (huge skijump)
Out if season its used as a zipline Smile Check it out if you got the guts.



And there is the Opera that all the tourists come to see Smile


To be perfectly honest I think Oslo is a quite boring and overrated city :/

Carry pepper-spray, stun-gun, rape alarm and leave all your valuables at the hotel.
Whenever I'm in Oslo (also known as Little Africa and ArabVille) I'll only walk the length of my truck. No further.
If I have to move further away, I make sure to stay near people I trust.

I'd probably feel safer in Somalia.


I hate you.

As long as Oslo is not sending out black vikings to plunder ships in the Baltic and North Sea I'm pretty sure its not bad enough to qualify as Somalia.

Are you serious? Or maybe you just don't like big(ish) cities?

I actually do like big cities.
Offcourse Oslo is not as bad as I wrote, but judging by the news I hear about Oslo every day, it's not far from that point.


I hate you.
