Well, your report of the closed shops, the queuing and the public and private leeching (aka: high living costs) fits nicely into what other people told me of Norway. Not sure whether this information is of any help (my understanding is that you are off to greet father Christmas and his reindeers, but maybe you manage to squeeze it in upon your return there, while waiting for transit): try the Solsiden. According to my sources, it is close to Aker brygge and famous for its seafood, ghastly styling (it is apparent sitting in a warehouse where a normal person would not even house a dog...) and - for Norway standards, anyway - relatively moderate prices. No personal experience for that place on my side, though, but several independent sources recommended it highly. <br /><br />Anyway, best wishes for the new year and please return speedily, in a healthy and relaxed mood and continue to regale us with your stories...<br /><br />Cheers,Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492617588843618782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-77588796408345626782011-12-31T04:11:42.520-05:002011-12-31T04:11:42.520-05:00Did you take butter with you?

I think I found it at coordinates 59 54 54 N by 10 45 33 E, but I couldn't find a name. So I tried something new of asking Google by using the coordinates and came across the Oslo Bombing that I had read a few weeks ago. I think the bombing took place just west of that building a little ways.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.com
