Oslo, Norway

Oslo, Norway

Spring 2013

This city is expensive, expensive, expensive.  It’s too costly to try a lot of the local flavor. It’s too expensive to enjoy:

• ·      One beer- $25
• ·      A cup of coffee- $7
• ·      One short trolley ride- $10
• ·      One small tuna sandwich- $15
• ·      Museum admissions- 420
• ·      One hamburger @ McDonald’s- $20
• ·      One wool sweater- $400
  
  

But on the plus side of this expensive city, there are some real gems:

• ·      The Nobel Peace Center
• ·      The City Hall Carving Exhibits
• ·      The Freely Art Museum
• ·      Lots and lots of people walking everywhere
• ·      The beautiful, clean streets
• ·      Recycling stations everywhere
• ·      The architecture
• ·      The clear blue skies
• ·      The ease and pleasure of walking the streets
• ·      The beautiful flowers.

That being said, this is a once and done city visit for me.
