My favourite record chain store. More are opened recently. On a quiet street, it is the most popular
store.
 
This 100 years old building reminds me of those old ones in HK. Nothing fancy, but you can find traces of the past through the details and sculptures.
   
         
   
These days, I love New Zealand mussels. The best way is to put different kinds of herbs/ingredients, onto mussels before baking.
 
One of my favourite sculpture in Oslo. Right across a small bridge, several face-less human sculptures being hung upsidedown, like diving from the sky.
   
         
   
Love the lawn, but I love the casting of the tree-shadows more. Like the lands divide the seas, or the seas separate the lands. Keep me happy for some times.
 
All my friends know I like duck. Enjoy the succulent
taste and the texture of the meat. Each bit is full
of joy. Too bad duck has too much fat.
   
         
   
Not a floral expert, especially the big ones. But I
like this small heart-shaped one called Lieutenant
Heart a lot.
 
Besides mini-coopers, this is another vintage car I
like, Volvo from Sweden.
   
         
   
Erlend Øyeis my favourte Norwegian artist. You can find a lot of his vinyl albums in small shops, plus some self-invested ones too which cannot be find in chain stores.
 
Since the beginning of the year, city bus and tram stops have been replaced with more stylish and simple ones.
   
         
   
This semi-circular fountain is Oslo's famous meeting place. Many people will tell their friends to meet here which is outside the Opera House by the subway.
 
Not only US and England, but also Norway's McDonald has the diet meal too. Everything is the same except there is no buns. Should be a hit here.
   
         
   
H&M clothing chain-stores have begun to open the
US markets too. You can find massive commercials all over Oslo. This one is the biggest one I have ever seen.
 
Sunday, on the way to the park, there is this fat cat; maybe pregnant, strolling down the road. It stops by my side, waiting for me to give it a good massage.
   
         
   
This is a famous pub. Several years ago, it was on
all the European magazines as the choice of clubbing. It is, in fact, a public washroom before.
 
Washrooms in train stations and malls are normally not free. You need to pay 5 to 10 Krones to use. There is a guide right outside. You have to stop if you're in a hurry.
