elaboration

I apologize, gentle readers, for not elaborating further on the sites I mention. I will keep it in mind.

I will begin by explaining, Habibi, Mono, and Blå.

Habibi makes kebabs. Damn good kebabs and falafel. Andrew originally found this spot, he was introduced to it by his volunteer placement supervisor. It became a favorite of ours, not only is it excellent food, but it is relatively cheap at 40 kroner. also, it is very centrally located on Storgata two-three blocks from Jernbanetorget, Karl Johans Gate, and Domkirkke AND one block away from MONO.

To explain the above further, Storgata is a central road from the Sentrum and Domkirkke to the river and Grunnerlokka. Jernbanetorget, is a small square infront of Oslo Sentral Stasjon at the end of Karl Johan's Gate. Adjacent to the square is major T-Bane stop named after the square. Karl Joahns Gate is the main strip in Oslo, a pedestrain mall connecting Oslo S (rail station) with Domkirkke (city cathedral), Stortinget (parliament) and Slottet (King's palace).

MONO was/is my favorite bar in Oslo. It is in the city center, which causes the price to be a bit more (52 kroner beer). They play wicked good music after my own taste, and have posters of Neil Young, Patti Smith, and Television in their small, covered patio.

Blå bills itself as a bit of a jazz club, but that's not entirely accurate. They have a FANTASTIC patio on the river away from all cars. There is well done graffiti art everywhere. There is a giant chandelier that hangs outside the entrance. They have a lot of DJs, but it is a chill spot during the day and a hopping club at night. Blå rocks.

I must gets backs to works.
