    This is a great video with great information about Oslo. Thank you so much for doing this and sharing this with us. I think you gave the Times something to think about.

    1:45 i agree with you, I hate the architecture and colors of the building. Its dull, lifeless.
    In fact, I don't like most of the recent modern type buildings that are being built in Oslo. They feel like empty, sad, souls-less. No creativity, nothing expressive or attraction. Like the MUNCH Museum. :(

      The new library's great - but on the inside more than outside.

      @@jonnor6883 Thanks for that... I wish I had more time to deep dive into some of these places, but the truth is there's so much to try and cover in a city guide - especailly when I only have 2-3 days.... Great when viewers help out the community by sharing stuff I don't know.

    Architecure is horrible. Definantly the ugliest capital in Europe. Also, its run by the biggest decadent politicians in history, totally destroying the city.

      I suggest you go back to the tiny little city of Trondheim. Oslo is a big city with lots of options, Trondheim is not even worth a days visit.

      @@TullaRaskActually, Oslo is more comparable to Trondheim in size and in things to do than Stockholm or Copenhagen, and like a true decadent you seem embarrased by that. Only difference is that Trondheim has actually kept its old traditional atmosphere and architecture which is unique and common for the way norway traditionally looked. Do you honestly even think about Oslo objectivly. Think about sports for instacne, it does not even have a team in the highest football division. It is a city that is completly without anything, except people of you kind, that are perfectly happy to live in a place that is completly supported and subsidized by the norwegian taxpayer on the expense of devloping their own local regions. It's strategy is like Moscow's (And i bet you decadently even think that sounds very cool), it basically steals and plunder the rest of the country artificially keeping it self in a higher standard than it actually is able to by it self.

      @@TroenderTass I didn't grow up in Oslo, I come from another part of the country, as does many people. Frankly lots of people come to Oslo from all over this country because this is a big city, while places like Trondheim is nothing but a village. My mother once asked why people who go to Oslo become so pro-Oslo after moving here lol. Lots of people just love it here. Oslo has it all. You asking about football is just typical, because that's about all you have to do of socalled cultural events elsewhere, here in Oslo football is just one of many things to do, and they have to compete for the attention.

      @@TroenderTass As I grew up elsewhere and has lived in Trondheim for 1 year, I'm not a noob. I know what attitude many outsiders in Norway has to Oslo, it's envy all around. The city I grew up in is a shit hole. Whitout Oslo it would be nothing. All countries need a magnet and that's what Oslo is.

      @@TullaRaskThe place you come from is a shit hole for the very reason i pointed out like blew right past you. You region is not developed simply because everything gets centralized in Oslo. There is only one other country in Europe that centralizes in the same way, and that is Russia, where the entire nation live under horrendous conditions and everything gets shipped to Moscow. The same is true in Norway. You rparent are funding your decadent lifestile trough taxes with immigrants in Oslo, and they get nothing in return. There is no culture in Oslo. There is culture in norway, which is centralized in Oslo. You do realize that Oslo was smaller than cities like Bergen and Trondheim, until it was decided what it should be the capital in the begining of the 19 century right, and that it's growth is politically decided by plundering the rest of the country to enrich this filthy city. You talk about rootless people as your self as a benefit. You are ridicilous
