If you enjoy sculpture, then I would highly recommend Vigeland Park in Oslo. I spent a couple of hours there yesterday and was thoroughly amazed by the shear volume of sculptures. And when I say volume, I mean both size and number. There are on the order of 1000 sculptures throughout the park. They were [...]
Wow, cooooooold this morning. 16°F (-9°C) Guess that’s not too bad. It gets that cold in VA sometimes, I ‘spose. But still. Pretty friggin cold :)

I now understand where Ikea came from. I understand why it exists. You see, the fully furnished apartment is quite popular here (fortunate for me). You just move in and everything you need is already there waiting for you. Silverware, sheets, towels, everything. It’s both cool and creepy at the same time. Also, the government [...]
