I was in Norway for 8 months last year, stayed just outside of Oslo.....i would have said for you to go to Bergen or Trondheim instead of Oslo, but i would recommend going to the Viking Ship museum, and also check out the pub Elm Street, thats where Varg & Euronymous etc...used to hang out, i met Fenriz there when i stopped by, but yeah, i would say just take your time gettin around the town, and make sure you go to Kongsberg for the downhill skiing!!

 

[genocide roach]

we're gonna go ski up at hafjell i think. and i might do a night run at tryvann just for kicks. see if i cant get some nice night pictures of the city

I just came back from my one and a half weeks without internet (terrible experience). You gotta go to Elm Street, a record shop called Sound Of Noise, the Viking Ship museum (it's great, been there a couple of times), perhaps the Kontiki museum at Bygdøy (a museum about Norway's greatest explorer of all time, Thor Heyerdahl). If I think of more, I'll post it here right away. And you should also go ice skating at Spikersuppa (it's in the middle of Oslo, at Karl Johan, impossible to miss )

 

[genocide roach]

sound of noise. can i get cheap metal and hats there? i need an emperor stocking cap haha.

and i plan on hitting up most the museums
~gR~

 

[PaganThunder]

Cheap Metal in norway? ahah Nothing is cheap in Norway!! I recomend you try a Kebab by the way, and also, check out the bums up and down the streets with their little paper cups trying to scab money.

You must "slikke Norsk Fitte, det er jaevla bra!!" Sorry if thats the wrong way of spelling it, but for fuck's sake i am Aussie!! haha

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, i have no idea what you said.

anways. the exchange rate is pretty dramatic, so i imagine that things may be a bit cheaper for me. i like its 6.50kr to 1usd. but who knows. i just want somthing good that i cant get over here in the states
~gR~

 

[Henrik Main]

Hm. Most things are rather expensive in Norway. But the CDs in Sound of Noise and Tiger Safari (it's next to Sound of Noise, brilliant store too) are a bit more affordable than CDs in the "regular" CD stores. A CD in an average shop costs about 200 kr, but you get em for 169 (usually) in the abovementioned shops.

PaganThunder said that "you have to lick Norwegian pussy, it's fucking great". But it's up to you to decide the quality, eh?

 

[genocide roach]

lol, i hope i can get some chics while im over there. got any tips? hahaha
~gR~

 

[Henrik Main]

Lol. There are a silly amount of good-looking girls in Oslo. Lots of them are very, very posh, though, wearing Burberry scarfs, Canada goose jackets and such. You're in for a fashion shock, I guess There are quite a few alternative girls too, though. Dunno where you can meet up with someone.. Oh yeah, you could go to the club Last Train. I'll find some more good clubs for you soon. Alternatively, try this link:

[PaganThunder]

Hails Henrikmain, yeah mate i know thats what i said, i just didn't know if i said it right haha, can't wait to get back over to Norway though, but watchout for the price of beer, one 6 pack there costs the same as a slab here haha.

 

[Henrik Main]

Lol, true, the beer (and other alcoholic drinks) is very expensive. You're quite good when it comes to Norwegian, PaganThunder - you know the most important things, at least: "Go to hell" and "you have to lick Norwegian pussy".
