One of Oslo’s popular attractions is the pier and harbor called Aker Brygge. Its not what I would consider a traditional looking pier, but more like a long line of shops, restaurants and cafes along the water in Oslo’s harbor.

I knew that the day would come after I had been in Oslo a couple of weeks that my beautiful acrylic nails would fall off…and sadly that day has come.
The worst part is there is no hope of getting my nails done here. Not because they don’t do it, they do. But because instead of [...]

I went grocery shopping today. And I know that I recently posted about how its so weird to me that you always have to pay extra for bags here…and its still weird. But I also realized, while trying to fit a weeks worth of food (for two people) into ONE plastic bag, that I don’t [...]

Getting Around In Oslo

As an American that moved to Oslo, Norway….the costs of things here is painful. Everything is very expensive, its true. But there is one thing that I’ve found that although its expensive, it is actually very useful.

American TV In Norway
September 17th, 2007 · No Comments
