I set off early from Skien in #Norway to #Oslo, the capital of Norway. Norway's currency is the Norwegian krone. Norway is one of the richest countries in the world. Norway has a population of 5 million. The train from Skien to Oslo takes 2 hours and 10 minutes. Norwegian architecture consists of colorful wooden houses, but Oslo has a more modern architecture.
My hostel in Oslo is right in the center and considering very cheap Norwegian prices. They say Oslo Nightlife can be dangerous, especially in Oslo, Greenland, where foreigners live.
Oslo S Sentralstasjon The train station in central Oslo. Karl Johans (Gate) street starts here and ends at the Royal Norwegian palace. Norway is still a monarchy. The street mentioned in Knut Hamsun's Hunger is Karl Johans Street. On the way to the Norwegian Royal palace you can see the Storting, Norwegian Parliament on your left. No matter how many kingdoms Norway is, it is governed by a parliamentary monarchy. What is the per capita income in Norway? over $70,000 if you ask. The average salary is almost $6,000. For this reason, Norway is one of the richest and most prosperous countries in the world. Oslo is an expensive city. Norway has oil revenues from the Arctic Ocean and the country runs a budget surplus. They even give a salary to newborn children.
A giant building overlooking the Baltic Sea will catch your eye in Oslo. This building is called Rådhuset or Rådhus. Town hall. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in this building. Only Norway awards the Nobel Peace Prize, the other Nobel Prizes are awarded by Sweden.
Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Icelandic are all descended from the same family and are all called Scandinavian. Icelandic and Norwegian are essentially the same language. Icelandic is called Gammalt Norsk (old Norwegian). This is because Erik the Red (Erik den røde) escaped and discovered Greenland and established a Scandinavian settlement there. His son, Leif Erikson, was also born in Iceland. the first settlers bring their tongues. It is known that the first Europeans to set foot in America were Vikings.
Next to the Nobel Peace Center Rådhus building in Oslo. The Nobel Prize is not awarded in just one science, that is mathematics. Legend has it that the woman Alfred Nobel fell in love with cheated on him with a mathematician. This is how Nobel got revenge.
Oslo festning (castle) is here. It was built against other Viking (Swedish) raids.
Norway-Sweden relations are very interesting. Before Norway found oil resources in the Arctic Ocean, Sweden was much richer than Norway. The industrial country produces Volvo. Norway is a fishing, lumbering peasant society. When oil is found, they offer Sweden half of Volvo in exchange for half of their oil revenue. The Swedes laugh. Today Sweden has sold the Volvo to China for nothing, and Swedish teenagers are coming to Norway to work as waitresses. When the Nazis invade Oslo, they take over the festing and use it as a Nazi base.
Christiania Torv Square is Oslo's old square. Oslo's former name is Christiania. Oslo was destroyed by a great fire in 1624. The Danish king Christian takes advantage of the fire and arrives in Oslo in 1624. He throws his glove into the air and they build the city of Oslo where the glove fell. King Christian wants to rebuild Oslo with stone houses, but Norwegians only know how to build wooden houses. He brings stone workers from the Netherlands. It is possible to see Dutch architecture in Oslo today.
