Oslo You Didn’t! Osles I did!

You see that blog title?  That’s freakin’ genius.

…After our quick tour of Stockholm, we made way to Oslo for a quick tour of it.  The guide in S.holm thought that only Copenhagen could give his city a run for it’s money, beauty-wise, but Oslo has that certain I-don’t-speak-French-but-whatever.

Our guide was great again, which unfortunately made us realize that our guide in Helsinki maybe wasn’t so great. All the more reason to go back.  More views, a great history of Oslo, nee Christiania (though Oslo before that!), etc.

Did you know people here are into boats?  They’re way into boats.  I guess that goes with the terrirory!  Ha!  Get it!?!  Cause it’s a giant coast-line of a country.  It’s like the Chile of Europe…  or the Delaware of Europe?  It’s cool.

But there are boats all over the place.  We went to three different boat places, and they were actually cool.  The Norwegians (NB! Oslo is in Norway) were teh last country to stop using sail boats commercially, and it wasn’t until the start of the 20th century!  Loco!  But they do love boats, and they love Vikings, and they love charging insane amounts of money for things like soda.  And laundry!  (I tried to get my laundry done, but at $15 for one pair of underwear?  I’lld bathe in dirt, thank  you.)

Um..  So this is like the fourth post in a row, there’s a chance I’m getting a little..  you know..  Fourth of Julied out.  I don’t know what that means.  Point being, Oslo is cool, but h. canoli is it expensive!  A beer at a bar is around $15, a six-pack at a grocery store is $25.  AND THEY DON’T EVEN TAKE DOLLARS!!  NOT EVEN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY!!!!

But it’s quite pretty, and they have great Indian food.  Man, I really should have either put this off until tomorrow, or written this last night.  Imma let the pictures do the stuttering.  I will mention that Oslo City Hall is cool, and if anyone suggests visiting it, you should think something other than “Seriously, you want me to take a tour of a government building?  Seriously?”

Oh!  There was a busker singing Lisa Loeb songs.  What gives, Europe?  Why all the LLL?
