Oslo life

Exciting!

I've now moved in to my new apartment.

About Thursday, the day I arrived to Oslo, click here.

Friday I came to visit the new apartment and had dinner with Tina, my friend from exchange and new house mate. ;-)

Saturday I moved in. Bought a bed and brought it to the apartment after which is was Ikea time. Then back home to arrange the room and start unpacking my bags. Everything went faster than expected and so it was time to go to a gig of three Norwegian artists/bands that I hadn't really listened to before (does it count if I listened during the time I was arranging my room?). Actually very good gigs, a couple of very good singers and amazing atmosphere - the Norwegian really love their music. ;-) Plus, have you ever got cupcakes after a gig? Yeah, well at this gig you did!

The artists/bands were:

Mikhael Paskalev (might get interesting if he plans on making an international career as 'paska' means 'shit' in Finnish)

Jonas Alaska (who had a very Amish -style going on in his clothing)

Team Me (probably the best ending of a gig I've seen, very powerful)

Sunday we went out into the woods with J-Lo and Ingarito.

And today, Monday, I've been doing the groceries for the first time. How much does chevre cost in Finland? Cos the cheapest, and only, one I found in the store today was 34NOK = 4,5€ for 120g.

At least I got to eat my salad craving of the month: honey chevre salad with avocado and tuna. Whilst checking out the album of new Finnish little superstar: Robin.

Any Finns living in Oslo and reading my blog? Any suggestions for where to meet around my age Finns in Oslo? For the first time I am in an environment where I don't know any other Finns and can't speak Finnish, my mother tongue.

Anyway, now I'm off to meet some of Tina's friends. Norwegians!

Feels like the weekend just continues going on and on...
