Cool that you got some time to spend in Oslo! Btw. did you know that the metro trains in Oslo were designed by Porsche? It's the only Porsche I can afford to ride.
😊😊😊😊
It's just exterior design that's drawn by Porsche but in reality you're riding a Siemens train, just like your appliances 😂.
@@TrumanBurbankFE I know 😅 But it's a fun thing to mention. I wouldn't want Porsche to suddenly build trains.
@@TrumanBurbankFE Nothing wrong about that, Siemens is pretty good quality when it comes to trains.
You are not missing a thing. Porsche is cramped, low to the ground which sucks at speed bumps. Not comfy. I know. Bloody lousy sitting in them. Get a truck and be elevated and comfy. 👍🧏🇨🇦 Soup can is a Porsche lols!
Its a change to see your travel video, and be able to read all signs, and culturally understand everything. 2:12 The plastic bags are to be used as trash bags. Yes Oslo is (in)famous expensive city.
The price for that dinner... I know Sweden where I live is expensive, but Norway is on a whole other level of expensive.
That hotel! 😱
There are tourist trains that go from Oslo across the country to Bergan. There is some incredible scenery and massive mountains. There is a train driver youtube channel called "RailCowGirl" That has a lot of videos on that route. Sweden and Norway must be a huge culture change from Japan
The trains between Bergen and Oslo arent even tourist trains. They're just regular long distance trains and a lifeline for many rural settlements in inland norway with both daytime trains and overnight trains between Norway's 2 largest cities. But it is also one of the most scenic railways in the world and probably the easiest way to access the Flåmsbana branch line which IS a tourist train.
This is my first video of yours. Nice content. Love your sense of humor!!
Statue to the other statue: "What's up with that Japanese person taking so many pictures...?!"
Lol if there is one thing Vigeland's statues are used to it's Japanese tourists taking pictures!
@@nerd_in_norway Ha... Statues and meals at restaurants!
Whooop whooop been waiting for this video the whole day❤ thank you
OMG so good! Really happy to spend time with this. Enjoyed it 100%!
Wow! That was some of the most bizarre "art" I've ever seen. I'll have to agree with your, "What the hecko!"
Glad to see you getting to do some sightseeing in my home city Oslo. Would have loved to guide you around. I'm glad you tried the reindeer stew. One of my favorite dishes. The train ride (and car ride) from Stockholm to Oslo is mostly just trees and boring. If I was to rank Stockholm-Oslo I'd give it 2/10 but the train ride from Oslo to Bergen is 10/10, one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world.
I was shocked to see how expensive the hotel was! How on earth did they demand such a crazy price? Was all the other hotels full?
Your videos are so peaceful and has a good pace, makes me so relaxed.
As usual another awesome video! I do not have much opportunity to travel (I plan to change that soon) but I enjoy living vicariously through your videos. Hopefully one day I can see some of those great places you have visited for myself.
Great to see the glimpse of you as well ;-)
I'm from Sweden. The railwaysystem here used to be really good, but for the past decades necesary investments have not been done. Our most important route is the 600km link from Malmö to Stockholm. This link only has a double track, whereas we urgently need four tracks to handle the traffic volume. Already 20 years ago there was an urgent need to expand the tracks, but the politicians can not agree on the terms, so nothing happens! There is a debate if a high-speed rail should be built, or if the existing lines should be expanded. Then there is the question of funding...
I live near Malmö, and here the trains have constant delays. As the local trains use the same insufficient rails, going by train in the region is quite challenging!
That’s probably why I couldn’t find many time choices for an Oslo-Stockholm train and will have to fly to Stockholm instead (just as cheap too!)
I think it’s too big of a country with a too small population. I personally haven’t had any problems with SJ, riding first class on x2000 is a very nice experience but I agree Oslo - Stockholm and Stockholm - Malmö lines needs investments
Yeah. The High speed lines would definitely bring the most value for the money and provide the greatest capacity relief, on top of huge journey time reductions from Stockholm to Gothenburg and Malmö respectively. Shame the current right wing government isn't as big of a fan of them, but the Östlänken phase 1 from Stockholm to Linköping and Gothenburg to Borås seem to hopefully progress, even if with some limitations. I just hope the network can be fully built out to 320km/h instead of some weird less good half solution with lower speeds just to save a tiny amount of money.
@@anthrogal78 Yeah, but the EU has still announced it'll provide support to upgrade basically the whole of the Stockholm to Oslo line on the Swedish side to 200km/h, which is definitely a good step. Should hopefully reduce journey times on the route by an hour
Wow, everything seems so expensive! Quite the change from your normal travels, thanks for sharing.
When I was in Stockholm, I once took a 5-hour journey on 2 trains and a bus to a little (what I would describe as) village called Nusnas near a town called Mora (pronounced with the stress on the 'a'. If you don't do this, the Swedes will tell you they have no idea where that is.). It was also in the middle of winter, and, I forgot to mention, a return journey. I only spent probably 2 hours there. I'm not complaining, I enjoyed it. However, I did have some concerns about waiting in the dark on a snow-covered road in the middle of nowhere for a bus that was running 2 hours late. I didn't get home till about 8. But I did manage to buy myself a horse (the reason I went), and I managed to get some nice photos of some lovely red-painted houses standing in the snow next to a partially frozen lake. I would probably do it again.
What kind of horse?
@@feiryfella A red one
@@harryjames8064 that sounds fun, have to try this this if I ever visit.
That surly is very expensive for a one-night stay in Oslo. Thank-you for that interesting trip to the Statue gardens. 😊
I spent only a day in Oslo (for a job interview) and I loved the brief time there. I wanted to see more of the city so thank you for making this one, Kuga!
Oslo looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Those statues say they couldn't afford to pay the artist extra for clothes . Strange city 😜
VERY unappealing
Many trains in Sweden are outdated and not well managed, this one looks dirty almost the same as in the 80:s.
It is the same! My mom worked on those in the 80s 😂
Eh, just because they are old doesn't mean they aren't well managed. Nothing will look pristine forever.
@@solstickan Exactly the reason why you need to replace stuff on a regular interval 😉
I have NEVER seen a UA-cam travel video with so MANY commercial / adverts interruptions !!
Kuga sacrificing his wallet to the gods of UA-cam content
He lives like a King. Don't worry about his wallet. Poor people don't travel all month day to day globe trotting. Lols!😅🥰🥴🧏🇨🇦
Thank you for going to Norway for me. From your video, I can see that it is way too expensive for my pocketbook. Frankly, the sculpture garden was underwhelming. Your trains in Japan are much better!
The statues were Crazy! 😊❤
Goodness! Skandinavien is so expensive, especially the alcohol 😆
Its so cool to see my hometown in one of your videos! Hope you enjoyed Norway.
Hope you enjoy Norway. I liked my year there. Beautiful place.
"Angry baby" looks like the model for the "Creepy Baby" mask...
Thanks for showing us Oslo, Kuga!
Norway is beautiful but it's expensive. I hope you had fun
I love your captions on the statues, I hope to meet you, funny guy😂
Excellent video, loved the gentle humour
If u think 6hours is a lot you should come to Croatia and experience our railroads, in which our trains, true fact, in last year were late for 2 years total😅😅
I love that it's a statistic that is tracked, added up, and available to the public.
Dinner look really nice but also very expensive.
Thanks for visiting my home city 😊
Europe is very expensive, next time come to Spain if you study its history first you will fall in love, hotels and the variety and tasty food are at a very good price and it is all connected by very good railways.
Damn, those prices were expensive! But that deer looked yummy though! Hope Santa didn't miss his deer haha
Oh well I can’t afford to go to Norway 🇳🇴 it’s way too expensive, shame it looks interesting
I’m a norway man and i love to see 🎉that Your going from Sweden to Norway😊😊
Currently in Oslo now and I think I will just have to check out the creepy statues.
Now we know what happens to reindeer that talk smack to Santa !
I wish i could go to Sweden with my family someday ❤
Beautiful city
I did this route early winter. IC locomotive train saturday morning, back sunday afternoon in X3000. Due to booking early and the loyalty program I got an awesome price for the combination, and did in in 1st class. To be honest, the Lok+Vagn train might not be high speed rail bling, but it was rather comfortable and 2+1 seating in 1st is amazing.
I recall Stockholm to Karlstad wasn't that long a trip, but once into Norway it did slow down quite a bit. However, the winding track was very nice and it is about enjoying the journey's views. It's the longest day train trip I have taken, and much less stressing than flying!
Oslo itself was quite nice to visit for the weekend, did mostly walk around and didn't eat out. Also it was a fantastic sunny winter weekend, quite good actually.
I can’t help laughing every time I see the price. Luckily the money wasn’t wasted (a delicious meal, a spacious room with nice view) :)
Wow, the cost of that reindeer dish... ...but I know, the last time I ordered food in Norway was in Narvik; a pizza and a Coke, roughly $30, and that was about 15 years ago...
I also remember having to pay the equivalant of about $3 to take a leak in the station-bathroom in Oslo. That, that was in 1991. 😅
It costs equivalent of $2 now, in 2023.
Thx for visiting ”us”👍🏻
Marabou is my favorite chocolate - I like it with orange or with mint ❤
At least you did not have to ask your bank manager for a loan to get some alcohol.
Eye watering prices, though the countryside is nice, especially to the west with the fjords etc.
Poor Rudolf ... eaten but not forgotten. They'd have to cremate my wallet at those prices ..lol. very statuesque is all I can say. Thanks for an interesting adventure. Bushyboy Oz.
$290 a night for that basic bland cheap wood hotel room? For that in the UK you would get a whole suite with so much luxurious touches & many accessories & comfort! You were robbed! Thanks for sharing
It's Scandinavia, prices there are always "How Much?" In a high pitched voice several octaves above your normal.
Oslo is one of the most expensive cities on earth
Really? Just booked accommodation around Scotland for next month. Paid £240 for a dull "Best Western" in portabello in Edinburgh. Prices in the UK are insane now.
Even as a Norwegian i thought that was expensive, i was expecting 1500, 2000 at the most.
That meal looks so delicious!
That was a fun trip to Oslo. Reindeer meat that was in your stew probably taste like venison. Very yummy.
Convenient store is Convenient 😅 Woww i like your Lol Moments 555 You are best , enjoy your videos 📷
@09:35, nice edit, very professional looking.
holy moly,,,, that was a LOT of money 290 USD which is an extravagant 435.25 Australian for that room, at end of your video. thats about what the poshest hotel in Melbourne a night would cost. I hope the rest of your trip was cheaper and ok
Can't believe you didn't ride the subway, narrow tracks in Stockholm. Some really unique cave like stations, compared to Stockholm Oslo is really a boring with little history. And you missed the Vasa museum.
I live zje very Norwegian chocolate bar
called "Kvikk Lunsj" (Quick Lunch)
and when I lasted stayed in Oslo
we found a hotel chain called
"clarion collection"
who did b&b plus an evening meal.
It was reasonably priced too
for Norway that is.
You ate Reindeer? How will Santa deliver the presents at Christmas!!!!
I can't belive you went past the house I grew up in. Worlds collide in my head right now! Hehe oh, and you really got ripped off in Oslo! I wish I had known you were here, I would have helped you!
Great trip and the city tour. I don't know what's the creepy point, is that from exterior? The interior train feels like home. Ah yes that statues, statues everywhere.
Wow...Norway was quite expensive...however, the National Garden was free...so, guess it evens out🤷♂Thanks for taking that "bullet" for me.
Awesome 😊👍
36 USD for this reindeer dinner is ridiculous. I had reindeer at OsloCentral restaurant in 2012 but don't remember how much it cost, however, I do know it was way less than $36.
"Heheheh, they want statues, I'll give 'em statues." - the artist, probably
Ooooh yes I seen the word creepy lol I love any kind of videos with creepy scary horror I'm all in to it yes creepy is awesome 😊
Love you kuga ❤❤❤❤
Ok...train was a little creepy on the outside...that stare!! 😶
The hotels in Ireland as just as expensive unfortunately.
Great title
Very nice videos sir.
I think the bags are there for trash, or if you get sick, and need somewhere to throw up.
always love the kinda creepy vids
Kuga..Thanks Much !.......
so gothic and chic in all black! 🖤
4:30 - you are in my hometown Lillestrøm
"PLease calm down" 🤣
When are you coming back for the full Sweden tour? I love to come to Japan some day.
Well Norway is very expencive, you should tried that Reindeer stuff in Northern Sweden for half that price... On the otherside is very beatyful in Norway to travel in.
👌
If youre ever in america you should give long distance amtrak a go. The California zephyr is really sceneic, specifically the chunk from denver to salt lake and reno to Emeryville
You ate Bambi!!
I'm sorry, while it is a beautifully made video with interesting views, I expected a bit more after the title. It would have been interesting to hear what aspects made the train journey feel a bit 'creepy' to you. (Can't have been just the fact that there were these plastic bags next to your seat where you didn't know why they were there.)
It's perfectly fine to have this feeling when travelling in other countries due to cultural differences - the ones who don't experience it are either unwilling to admit to it or are the tourists we all know, the ones who expect everything to work exactly like it does where they're from and who end up behaving accordingly. Highlighting specific aspects that make up that feeling is always interesting for gaining an understanding of other cultures and how different people view the same situations.
Actually, I realise I might be a bit unfair here. It could just be a case of language nuances. Perhaps the "little creepy" is meant to only apply to the sculpture park that you visited. In which case the video title is just a bit misleading because it implies that the *journey* to Oslo was creepy instead of the park visit.
2:05 It’s bags in case you get sick and need to throw up
Note to myself: never watch Kuga's videos when hungry 🥴
Wth $290 for that crappy room. Norway is off my bucket list.

The train: O_________O
This train doesn't look creepy at all.Actually arrived on time,which is not normal fo the rest of Europe (I live in Spain)😂
Except for Switzerland
Maybe for Spain isn't normal
I think the statues are super creepy
@@loredanadincu7930 Your name sounds Romanian,I doubt trains are on time there
@@JulienAngelov77 you can doubt as much as you want because with rare exeptions like snow or a very hot weather, the train are on time you xenofobic ass. Even though most of them are old trains with some exceptions, the train are on time
wow that was seriously expensive
Norway and Switzerland are the most expensive countries in Europe. That has been the case for decades and both country’s citizens shop in cheaper neighbouring countries. Your wallet says OUCH. 👍🏻🏴🇯🇵
290 for that hotelroom? There should be at least the summer olympics or
a Beatles concert outside.
Thanks for the travel but i didnt saw where was the luxury out of the price 😢
usually i see you in faraway places, so strange to see you somewhere very familiar :)
Scandinavia is very expensive. I come from Sweden. I had a less well paying job, and with a lesser income everything is too expensive! I could not afford going on vacation within Scandinavia!
In Scandinavia Norway is seen as very expensive!
In Sweden a standard hotel room is about 1,000 SEK (13,000 Yen), but I always compare and prebook my rooms in booking aps to save money!
Those statues were seriously creepy😮
Hello, I love your videos because you don't talk 😂, anyway, do u have other account for the places you've been, I would love to watch if you visit some places instead of just terminals, harbour etc.
I really want to unsee that statue park too weird 😂😂😂
Im so glad you got to Norway. The train is not the best. But its Okay. Hope you did not got much at the convini, the money got wings in Norway 😂 - I’m from south.
Also thanks for Al the amazing Japan train tips. I was 3 weeks in March and vil go 4 weeks in November. Just had to get back, it’s really pretty.
Thank you for watching!
I'm planning to visit Norway again soon.
