Oslo Ghost Town
Yes, it's Easter again and what I already observed last year in Uppsala is valid for Oslo as well: everything is closed. But this is not only about shopping, also in the streets you hardly see cars or people walking around. Everyone seems to be away.

For instance, one of the major subway hubs "Majorstuen" is normally quite crowded. Today, you could only see a few people there. However, there are some places that are crowded. One of the is the Sognsvann lake. This is a place where Norwegians (and some of the students who are living close by) go out for a walk and want to explore "nature". Luckily, the weather has been really nice in the past weeks.
I now finally also have a bike, which is very handy. The distances are so short in Oslo that I'm sometimes faster by bike than by subway (T-Bane). I even biked down the "Korketrekkeren" bobsleigh track where in winter we went sledge riding.
