Seeing tho i really can't get myself to sleep after 9 i woke to the sound of a huge digger outside Mina and mines window, deciding to scratch myself thoroughly i did the morning ritual and headed up. The digger, it seems, is making another garage space, cuz according to Norwegian™law if u have a certain amount of apartments u have to have a certain amount of garages, quite communisty if u ask me, but awesome non the less. The rain was falling and after vanquishing some sandwiches of the table Mina and i deciding not to w8 for Franq and Milksdglkd we went into our little tour of Oslo by ourselves. Packed for heavy rain with a shirt and a pink sweatshirt (i like the material, screw u :P) we were ready for some day of culture by ourselves.
============================================================

After Mina meticulously circled all the things we need to see, we head out. Passing near the palace we observed yet again the ritual of changing the guards, carefully coordinating our steps we managed to get the one at 13:30, some would say it's Mina's planing, my immaculately precise bathroom use, some might call it luck :D Now this changing was a bit different then the other, because more people were involved and there were flocks of tourists about, who seem to know the show better then the soldiers themselves, and with the rain falling the show was twice as better. The stomped around with their angry little feet, and shown of their fancy little guns, actually it was quite
nice. The ceremony finished, we headed for one of Oslo's biggest bookstores i think it was called mr. Sniffles or something. In spite its obviously ridiculous name the bookstore is HUGE. Incredible amount of books dictionaries trinket's and various other assorted books available near your own bookstore near u. The difference to this bookstore is that u could actually find a bargain here. After getting a magnet for Mother Scurvy and a dvd of my
favorite movie we headed out to see the City Hall.

| C this, well atleast 2xtimes bigger and not as red :D |
============================================================
The exert from Wikipedia says the following:"
 |
| only a model |
The
Oslo City Hall (
Norwegian:
Oslo rådhus) houses the
City Council, city administration, and art studios and galleries. The construction started in 1931, but was paused by the outbreak of
World War II, before the official inauguration in 1950. Its characteristic architecture, artworks and the
Nobel Peace Prize ceremony makes it one of
Oslo's most famous buildings. It was designed by
Arnstein Arneberg and
Magnus Poulsson. The roof of the eastern tower has a 49-bell
carillon which plays every hour.
It is situated in
Pipervika in central downtown Oslo. The area was completely renovated and rebuilt to make room for the new city hall, back in the late 1920s.
In June 2005 it was named Oslo's "Structure of the Century", with 30.4% of the votes.

| the frame isn't tilted it's the structure |
The Nobel Peace Prize is presented to the winner on 10th of December each year in Oslo City Hall." The building is enormous, its wide halls even rival the wide halls of a Somborian railway police station. The murals on the side of the walls were quite breathtaking, tho giving of a scenty communist vibe but as i spend more time in this amassing city i learn that most things do. Maybe the way The Norwegians™ managed to imbue a few socialist ideas into a democratic system really works or they just have the money to afford to make it work :D
Anyway, on each side of the wall facing Oslo center were 2 Pipe Organs and the rooms were filled with parts of Norway rich history. Having experienced the City Hall, we were starving for more culture so we decided to visit the Nobel Peace Cente.
============================================================
 |
| it was even cloudier inside |
 |
| nope, not whacha think :D |
The Entrance to the Nobel Peace Center museum was 50nok's and after that we figured we had enough of culture for a little while :) With rain starting to fall we needed to find some less expensive shelter, there we wandered into a McD :D We decided to w8 out the rain cuz it was falling properly now and got i couldn't go into a McD and not get a shake, which was surprisingly cheap. The shake tasted better then any shake ever, i dunno if it was the rain, the fact that we were in Norway ™ but it was great. We took some ketchup aswell and verry gracefully drank it through a straw :D U know how there's always that one dude who has a cool cola glass and ur like, where ya get that dude and hes like well i went to Spain and there was this sale in McDonalds and it was cheap and stuff, and so i got it, I err....I1m pretty sure u can't get it here, with a smuggest grin on his face u ever saw. Well me and Mina are those people now(grin). The rain started to give into the sunlight (insert SW quote) and Mina decided to get a shake too just as mine slowly dissipated :D Usually how those things happen i reckon. After using the bathroom (my 2nd but not only time that day) we headed out to the National Museum Of Architecture, Mina loosing her interest in the Shake gave it to me, and having a full litre of milkshake i was pumped up with sugar and gods know what, and ready to go :D

| tho u could manage to find some fun |
First we saw the architectural museum which was...Well it wasn't my cup of t of the being a law student of sorts..Tho I'm not sure i would even appreciate a law museum...To be honest i would shutter at the thought that it even existed :D What could u fit in there, like half a cow a crazy judge ruled over. I think that thet building would be as welcomed to a town as pictures of
naked chanak :)) Mina on the other hand had a blast there, not even managing to get past the book section i think she was finally in her element. I managed to drag her out, and we went to see another museum near by the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Which was in a bank, which was kinda weird but also quite neat, as there were guards everywhere and gave it a bad ass feel off sorts. It was filled with strange thing, and stuff i couldn't figure out the meaning to but as with most things of this adventure i don't think I'm really meant to :D Bones being washed on the TV lots a weird paintings and my phone buzzed, and we met up with Franq and lady Mislkghdl.
============================================================
On Mina's mighty map the next stop flickered, it was the Museum of cinema, tho sorta tiny and a bit cramped it did have a certain charm to it.
Despite the lack of any erotica it was quite awesome, it contains a lot of old movie references and old projectors, the theater also doubles as a cinema and shows old no commercial movies, well before the 60s which is nice but ultimately attracted no people, which i think is what non commercial should mean :D
After visiting a hat place, me being a skilled miliner of old it was kinda mandatory and we headed home to 221b Oslobargeennotrilibuttheyhavenicegrillen Street, cuz tonight was movie night :D
============================================================

| lemons tend to cluster |
Now here u can pretty much head outside with not much of a plan and in 5minutes and 12 seconds decide what to do, this on the other hand is something we planned since day well -62 :) Lady Kate told me while chatting that she lives near a Cinema near her that was both huge and shaped like a huge....Upside Half of a lemon :) So we finally went bought some snacks that showed us new heights of how high cholesterol can be and we sat down in the most comfy cinema ever which my bike destroyed buttock felt quite grateful :D After watching
the movie, which was utterly awesome and mind blowing we went home. Tired and exhausted we played 1 game of BANG! and went into dreamland ourselves :))
