I particularly liked how the country was right in the middle of town. You didn't have to go driving to get some nice scenery - there's mountains and trees everywhere!

I was truly amazed at the architectue of the Town Hall, the Royal Palace was quite rediculou (who needs a house that big?), and the one thing that really made Oslo feel so wonderful was the colors everywhere. The buildings were all painted in different pastels and the arched windows. I did notice how everyone speaks English quite well, but I find that to be pretty common around western Europe and Scandanavia.

Anyway, I liked it so much I'm going back after spending a weekend back in CZ... I guess I'll have to prepare myself for yet more airport lounges!

It's another side of world to explore. I really wish I could be there to travel all the Northen Europe. It's another side of world to explore.

Hopefully once (if) I get a job here I may be able to travel once or twice a year which I'm sure will be a rewarding experience. Likening Norway and Sweden to England and Australia is a tad far in my opinion though - the Australians are competitive with the English but don't hate them, on the other hand if you display an Australian flag outside your window in England in anything but the nicest neighbourhood expect a few bricks! :-) Hello there and nice to hear you are enjoying Oslo!
