oslo is a small city, only about 600000 people. the streets are fairly narrow, and not much cars go around the city. there are beggars in the street talking a language i don't understand, and most of the time you don't hear norwegian in the streets downtown.
the biggest immigrants here are...
swedish.
who would have thought there is anywhere to go from sweden?
but the wages here are very high, as well as prices (ridiculous!) and taxes.
"financial crisis?", said a norwegian friend, "what is that?"
"it's something immigrants have", i tried to explain.
going a bit outside of the city you will find forrests and lakes, mountains and hills. even the crows are good looking.
there is something bubbly about this place. it's can't really make it on its own. norwegians don't wait on tables, sell in the supermarket or clean the streets. i'm not really sure what they do, but i will find out.
