Ullevål Subway Station

This photo was taken at the subway station of Ullevål, the place where you'll find the national football statium of Norway (mind, it is actually not "subway", however, Norwegians call it subway).

Bjølsen studentby II

Still a lot of snow in Oslo.

Bjølsen studentby

Bjølsen, built in 2003, is one of Oslo's newest student villages. You need to pay up to 2840* Norwegian Kroner for an unfurnished single room (11-15 m2). Is that expensive?

*320 Euro; 422 US-Dollar

Cards

Playing cards is really a source of great fun during Norway's long winter nights.
Solution of yesterday's quiz (apparently a little difficult, I'm gonna make it easier next time): Voldsløkka, a park close to the center of Oslo.

Where in Oslo II

Second round: Guess where in Oslo this photo was taken!
*Solution tomorrow

Grønland Subway Station

You have already seen the subway station of Nydalen. Today you see the Grønland subway station, eastern downtown Oslo.

Snus

A used up portion of Snus on the floor – That's a common sight in Oslo (and all over the country actually). Snus is smokeless tobacco, and it is quite popular in Norway. It is consumed by placing it under the upper lip for extended periods of time, and unfortunately some addicts just spit it out afterwards (like here in Oslo's subway) instead of disposing it properly.

Peppes Pizza

I think Peppes Pizza is the favorite pizza of Norwegians. Everyone here knows this logo! However, it is expensive. A simple medium-size (30 cm) "Peppes Marguerita" is 136 Norwegian Kroner (which is 19,60 USD or 15,10 EUR today).

Snowbound

Sometimes cars are not directly accessible.

BI Norwegian School of Management

The BI Norwegian School of Management is the second largest business school in all of Europe. It consists of 18,500 students and has in total six campuses: in Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, Kristiansand, Drammen and the main one located in Oslo (see picture above). The school is one of the 100 most recognised business schools of a total of over 4,000 such colleges in the world in the “Top Business School Worldwide 2008” survey. The building is very impressive I think.

Obama Superstar

"A moment in history" – The entire first page of Aftenposten, one of the largest newspapers in Scandinavia, is just about the hero today. Everybody is Obama-mad. But aren't the hopes on 44 too high?

Snø

You see really a lot of snow fell. Even for Oslo's climatic conditions. Snø* is the Norwegian term for "snow", by the way.
*with "slashed O" – it is a vowel and sounds most like is the vowel in "bird" or "hurt".

Tons of Snow

All right! It started to snow yesterday – at least 10 inches (*wild guesstimate) so far, and according to the latest weather forecast it will snow for a few days more!

Saturday Night

It's Stravinsky night club, Rosenkrantz gate, a popular place to go out.
