    if in oslo...

    you should atleast go and see a couple of museeum, it sounds boring, bit they have some excellent pieces, like "mother and child divided", munch museum is always "fun", and it costs practically nothing.
    but walking in a city, well it is walking in a city...

    take a boat ride, doesnt cost that much and you can get to see nice summer sea fun (topless sunbathing... ohh it was a couple... obs)...

    or take a trainride to fredrikstad, or kristiansand (it last a couple of hours, but on upside; if u order them 2 days in advance it cost only 30 bucks, wherever long you want to travel)

    it is not legal to drink outside in the park, but the cops tends to see the other way in oslo, as long as you pick up your trash when leaving (but do not try that in the bible belt near Kristiansand, you get fined before the sound `whzzz` has left the can of beer).

    what we have in norway is as told, nice country sides and people (age 40-80) speaking bad english...

    summertime is a pickpocket time, when all the professionals pickpockets from other countries comes to refine their trade...

    but do not worry, they will probably have a nice time...

    but you should know that the trolls and goblins wakes up at 0330 every night, so then you should probably be inside.... :P

            ill bet they will have a great time...

            it is only we from norway, with our singel payer healthcare, gunless cops and a population of the main capital of about half a million people that sees everything wrong... but the price of beer sucks, but that even sucks in europe now so...

            i would recommend grilling in the park, with a couple of cold ones, it is so oslo in the summer, there is is one park near the gr,nland police station(witch inceedently is very close to the oslo county jail), never seem to be to much trouble there, well in that department there seems never to be much trouble anywhere, except for when the trolls comes out, yes we have trolls, it is no joke... someone even have another name for them... beggers...

            Weswood: I think that was already on thier plans.
            well how should i know, I AM NOT A MINDREADER... i do know the vulcan neck pinch though...

              Alright - some recommendations from my Eastlander contacts

              restaurants :

              Ekeberg restauranten
              Restaurant Eik
              Restaurant Fjord

              a bit pricey - but really nice places .

              Saigon Little
              Punjab tandoori

              cheap but good food.

              bars :
              Celsius at Akershus fortress
              Skybar -Oslo Plaza - great overview of the city
              SAS Hotel bar at Holbergs Plass ( Holberg Plaza)
              Aker brygge ( Copy of Pier17 in NYC)


              for real bars that smell and have cheap beer and the occasional fight among patrons for entertainment ,please refer to General Pain .he funds several of them .

              other than that :
              go to Bygd,y to see the Folke museum and the Vikingskipet.Nice area for a stroll and to have lunch .

              There are boats leaving for the Oslofjord Islands -Hoved,ya or Gressholmen .Bring a picknic basket .Its nice if the weather permits .Also a sightseeing boat trip around the oslofjord is worthwhile for newcomers

              The new Opera -with the restaurant

              Slottet for the changing of the guards (remember to bow down ( women) and eyes downcast (men ) for the royal power -or face the consequences!!!)

              Then maybe United Bakery at Karl Johan street for breakfast.

              The Palmgarden at Hotel Grand and the bar Etoille on the top floor of the hotel.

              Take the metro ( hehe its just not the right word for it but anyways) to FROGNERSETEREN -very nice .

              the burrough of Grunerl,kka in the weekends is alright .

              The Munch museum at T,yen .

              Stay away from :
              Holmenkollen .Its under construction .

              check out :

              Visitoslo.no


              this guy works in a medi adistribution company and is used to showing foreigners around .I would say he has come up with some pleasant examples.

              If you would like more interesting but less pleasant I must refer you to General Pain .

              as theDevil said: They will have a nice time and stay away from trolls.
