arrival

Arrived in Oslo on Friday. Jan picked me up at the airport, took me to IKEA for supplies, and then to my new place. My new place was essentially a dorm, and like a dorm it provided basic furnishings such as futons and a bed, and an internet connection, but nothing else. I'd been expecting something along the lines of an AmeriSuites room, unfortunately, thinking that a TV and some other niceties would be provided. Sadly, they weren't, and I couldn't get my internet connection to work, and so for the first four days, I was without any means to contact anyone, gather information, or entertain myself. Fortunately, the hostel next door had a computer that people cold pay to use, and that gave me limited email access, at least.
