Did you know that Red Bull is illegal here in Norway. Even in Sweden it’s not the same Red Bull we know and love back home. So we’re drinking Jager in lemonade which is not as bad as it sounds. It puts hair on your chest at least (see below).

The Streets of Oslo
[audio:peaches-downtown.mp3] Peaches new album got leaked. How much does the hook of this song sound like Annie? Play the music while you watch the vid for the full on experience.
Sult In The Park

My restaurant (Sult) was supposed to sell food at a park festival this weekend. Problems started when the food inspectors showed up. They shut us down because our ‘meat on ice’ system was not cool enough (literally, the meat was too hot). So I got the day off and we turned our area into a beer garden.
Holmenkollen

Holmenkollen is the site of a massive ski jump that can be seen for miles. It has been rebuilt for ski championships and olympics again and again. Norway just got the World Ski Champs for 2011 and there is talk of doing it all again.
You can go right up to the top and the view is incredible — you can see all of oslo. In the base is a ski museum with skis over 1000 years old. There is also a funny ski simulator that is kinda crap and this picture of a guy skiing at the olympics wearing a tie. So cool.

Btiz Bar

Pronounced “beh’tiz”. This is a nice spot for good music but it gets rammed after 12. They have this blue siren that goes off and signals cheap shots at the bar for the next moment.
And — Keeping on the Nelly Furtado tip, here she covers Gnarls Barkley.

That’s Kat’s friend Heidi and Me. And she thinks that she’s the one who looks bad in photos. I like how it looks like I have a little ‘stash or goatee or something going on.

IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE:
Baby ducks, horses and cats — also cute in Norway. Possibly cute in other regions aswell.
Rainbows are also still considered “awesome” pretty much everywhere.
