Oslo, Norway

Bare with me, this will be a long one...
WOW! Norway was pretty ridiculous. Hey! Did you know that Oslo is one of the most expensive cities in the world?!...

Day 1: Denysha and I get in Oslo Torp Airport very late because our plane ran late. On the 2-hour busride to the city, we are stuck with some very drunk Norwegian telling everyone that he has tried every drug known to man, is a dealer, trying to sell drugs to us, claiming that he's a murderer also, that we are all comparable to a female body part.
We get off of the bus, realizing that everything is in Norwegian. We don't understand Norwegian. We take a cab to Anker Hostel, where we are informed that they messed up my reservations, so we would have to check out & in every day we plan on staying there.
A note: Snow. EVERYWHERE. As in, salt doesn't work. Snow to our knees. I was wet the WHOLE TRIP.
We walk around the streets nearby around 12:30am to find some place that will sell us food. We asked some local to show us a deli, where we cannot read the descriptions of the food. I end up unknowingly buying chip dip, while Denysha feasts on a "calzone" of questionable contents.
We get into our room around 2am, finding a sleeping naked man & a very old woman. We sleep.

Day 2: I wake up to find the "sleeping" man eating breakfast and watching me sleep. Everyone else in the room is speaking Russian.
Denysha and I check out, and head for the museums. We hit the Kon-Tiki Museum (very interesting, about a boat of reeds that was made to travel across the Atlantic and Pacific), The Fråm Museum (the most durable ship in the world), and experience our first Norwegian food: sausages and mashed potatoes.
We take a bus back to the main city & get lost by Oslo University, around the National Theatre, and hit up some window shopping at Karl Johans Gata (Street).
We are beginning to understand how to read and interpret Norwegian.
Check in, and take a nap.
Before we headed out for dinner and to a "jazz club", I overheard some guy in the lounge say that he was from Masachusetts, Drew. I went over, and we got along fine, so I told him that once we finished dinner, we'd come back for him to go to Club Blå (pronounced "blow") with us.
Denysha & I went out to some italian restaurant, Mama Leones. The food was good. My tiramisu was spiked. Lots.
Back at the hostel to pick up Drew, he's made a new friend from Bristol (UK), Alex. We sit down and talk for a while, hit it off. Also, "sleeping" man comes to talk to me. He's from Lithuania, and will further be called Lithuania man. He was around our age, and very very beautiful. I invited him out, but he had to wake up to buy a flat, so I told him breakfast at 10 with us. So Alex & Drew joined us at Blå.
Note: We thought it would be a jazz club. Oh, no. It was some underground HipHop/Reggae scene in some back alleyway of Oslo.
The boys got a little drunk, but us girls held our own and danced all night with Norwegians. It was fun. We got back and went to bed around 5am.

Day 3: Wake up at 10 realizing I told Lithuanian man about breakfast. I got down an hour late, found him waiting for me in the lounge. We talked for a while and laughed for a bit, but he had to go buy a flat, so I told him to meet us in an hour or so (which he never ended up showing, so I never saw him again).
Checked out. Alex & Drew joined us, and we set out to Tyrvann (a tower to see all of Oslo). The train ride took about an hour. We ended up, essentially, on a ski slope. Here we were with our shoes and boots, surrounded by people in skis and snowboards. It was pretty ridiculous.
We walked up the mountain about 3 km to the tower. It was cloudy and snowing. And the tower was closed. Nothing with people was near the tower. We walked back and returned to center Oslo.
Beforehand, Denysha & I discovered the beauty of their "Kit Kats", called Kvikk Lunsje (Quick Lunch), as well as their MAGNIFISCENT brown cheese. Basically, it's unprocessed goat cheese, really sweet, but still tastes like cheese. So, we all went to the grocers and bought 1 kg blocks of cheese.
Naptime.
The boys wanted to make reindeer fajittas, but Denysha & I headed out for a burger. Best, leanest, most scrumptious burger I've ever had in my life. And a fruit shake made of Galia melon and milk. Oh, my, lord.
We headed off with the boys to see Jarhead at a cinema, (english sound, Norwegian subtitles, it was a real trip), said goodbye to Drew (leaving that morning) and then headed off to bed early.

Day 4: Check out for real this time. We had made friends with the reception, Camilla already, so he chatted with us for a while. Cool guy. British.
Last hoorah for Denysha & I was going out to Akershus Fortress & Castle. Very quirky, kinda ugly and pretty at the same time. We walked there and took great pictures of Oslo's harbor. Walked into the Norwegian Resistance Museum. Did you know that Norway was under Nazi regime 1940-1945? But they were one of the main reasons why the Nazis failed, because they didn't obey them whatsoever. It was neat.
Tried to go shopping. WARNING: Oslo is officially closed on Sundays. We learned that the hard way, and ended up at some hotel's tourist shop to buy a mug & shirt.
Back to Anker Hostel until we headed back to London. Alex met up with us for a lunch/dinner, and we swapped more emails, and a few songs. He is going up to northern Norway to be a mountain guide for a while. Finished up our Kroners (Norwegian currency), and headed back for the 2 hour busride to Torp.

Noteworthy Norwegian foods: shrimp (aka scampi, or prawns), bureck (don't know the spelling, sounds like that...might be from Turkey), brown cheese, Kvikk Lunsje, sausages, fish&chips (be surprised), waffles, jam, reindeer burgers, galia melon
