LONDON TO OSLO, NORWAY
Available on my flight from Stanstead London to Rygge Oslo... Smokeless Cigarettes! what the?!?! So you can smoke on the plane, please purchase some of our smokeless cigarettes.. or maybe you would like a watch, some perfume, or try your luck on a scratchie. My flight experience was like i was teleshopping at 2am in the morning but it was real and I was in it!
So Rygge turned out to be an airport out of the city with not a great deal, like Avalon in Melbourne. I still hadn't heard from my friend Silje that was meeting me in the city so I was starting to stress out a bit. I jumped on a bus and hoped that it was going to the city centre which luckily it did! I still hadnt heard from Silje when i got off the bus and hardly anything was in English so i was now starting to think that Silje had disappeared off the face of the earth and I was in Oslo with nothing written in English and nowhere to stay... first time on my trip that i started to feel a little anxious.
Facebook to the rescue! I found an internet cafe and thankfully Silje had sent me her number after i didnt get any of her texts and she was waiting for me in the same building!! And meeting up with Silje was just like old days! (For those that don't know - Silje was an exchange student at our school in year 12 and I have been promising for 7 years that i'd come visit her in Norway!)
It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm so we headed to Vigelandsparken which is a sculpture park. Lots of human sculptures in different positions, one particular famous one of a little boy screwing up his face and his hand and doodle have been touched so much that they have worn down and really shiny! Theres one large monument called the Monolith (aka the big dildo) which is 121 people carved into stone. Being such a beautiful day we caught up with some of Siljes friends, had some beers and enjoyed the sunshine.
The strangest thing to me was the disposable BBQs that everyone brought to the park. They obviously dont have BBQ's like we do so they buy a disposable BBQ from the supermarket which lasts about 20 mins and then they throw it out!
