Normal for Norway

Is it Majorstuen or Majorstua? And what does Frogner actually mean? Two of Oslo's posher neighborhoods get their day in the sun--but did we let them off easy?

On the news: where to go in an emergency, building density, and an update to Seamus's investigation into why our local grocery stores are so sad.

Can Sentrum even be called a neighborhood? According to the city, no! And we concur, because it's got very little going for it. But why is that? And who lives there besides rats?
We've also got news about an alcohol robbery and a pollen warning.
Stay tuned for our ongoing neighborhood rankings!

Next up on the Oslo neighborhood chopping block: we return to Carl Berners plass and discuss what it has to offer besides a squareabout. Indigo learns how bingo works, and we share a snow crab update, as well as concerning news from podiatrists.

Eeeeeveryone is about to be sending us objections, corrections, and maybe even hate mail, as we kick off our Oslo neighborhood guide series. Starting off at the bottom (according to us): Skøyen and Torshov.
Before the dragging begins though, we've got news and updates, including signs of spring, icy roads (is this news??), and who's behind "I love sluts" graffiti.

This week is all about complaints: a loud waterfall, the people of Carl Berner's Plass don't want McDonalds, and Indigo gives a piece of her mind about Norwegians and small business. Plus, Sweden is salty about new cider standards.

This episode brought to you a day late by Indigo having a flu :(
