Room for rent in Oslo!

This room has now been rented out. Thanks for all those who took interest in it.

I moved into my current apartment because I knew I would have awesome flatmates. Two awesome chicks, a cool Swedish dude and an unknown girl I haven’t met yet who has been living in Australia but will be returning soon. However at 30 m2, the room I moved into is quite simply insanely huge and I have no use for all of that space. So now that the Swedish dude (aka Karl) is moving out, I figured it would make the most sense if I rent out my room and move into his much smaller one instead.

If you know of any males looking for a room to rent or are looking for one yourself, please get in touch 🙂 Rent is 6700 NOK per month plus electricity and internet and the bond / damage deposit is 13400 NOK. Rent starts approximately mid-August (this may be negotiable – I’m waiting to hear more details on this).

The apartment is situated between St Hanshaugan and the Royal Palace, easy walking distance from bus, tram and subway routes. We have two bathrooms, a very large kitchen/dining area and we have tons of storage room.

I currently have my bedroom segmented into a hallway area, a living area and a bed area, all separated by a curtain and a huge wardrobe which comes with the room. So even though it is only a single room, I use it as a complete private apartment with shared bathrooms and kitchen.

Skinniest street eva!

The guidebook I read whilst in Brasov, Romania said that Strada sforii is the skinniest street in Europe, so I went to pay it a visit. I think “street” is a loose term as I have no idea what you would be driving down it and it has a roof. It also turns out it isn’t the skinniest street in Europe after all as there are two others which are skinnier.

Slottsparken

How do you entertain yourself on a beautiful sunny day in Norway? You head to the park and lap up the sun with the locals. I took the following photo beside the royal palace in Oslo, a few minutes walk from my apartment. Raspberries, yoghourt and a book were my entertainment for the afternoon 🙂

Visiting Steffi in Duisburg

I had an awesome time visiting my friend Steffi in Duisburg. Lots of yummy Germany beer (and strange mixtures of beer and fruit) and of course awesome company.

The mighty Renault Twingo

The mighty Renault Twingo. This eccentric (yet very cool) little car was our transport in Duisburg. It’s lowered and capable of 160 kph on the Autobahn 🙂

A very strange but tasty beer, called a Bananenweizen. It's a mixture of Weissbeer and banana juice!? Thankfully it tastes pretty good :)
