I’m on my way to my final destination Lund. I’m going to visit two of my Dutch friends who are both studying in Scandinavia. They are staying until August this year, so it will be a while that I will see them again (I also haven’t seen them for the past 5 months). I have no direct plans for this weekend, but I trust on Sjouke that he knows some things to do. I will go back to Eskilstuna Sunday or Monday, but will figure this out by then.
So I stayed for the past 3 days in Oslo. Unfortunately my travelpartner Sophia was not able to go to Oslo, because she couldn’t find a place for her cats (arghhgh!). I had to be on myself during the day, but I met up with Kristina after she was done with her work. I normally don’t like to be on myself while doing things, but it rather worked out well. I did some touristic stuff like sightseeing and shopping. Before I went I searched on the interwebs to find less touristic stuff to do. I found some very nice, and almost deserted locations nearby the city. the second day I went on a stroll in the forest and some parks. It was good to see the best parts of the city. Oslo is a really clean and modern city, but has some historical parts too (the vikingship museum and an old stronghold). But yeah, it is really freaking expensive, even more expensive then Sweden. Luckily I took care of my expenses.

I also went with Kristina to an exhibition of graduating work of industrial / graphic / interaction designers. This was unexpectedly nice. I really tried to look for exhibitions relating to interaction design or interactive art, but its hard to find something like this in Sweden. It was good to see at least one, but maybe I looked at the wrong places.
I will keep my blog up to date with my experiences in Lund.
