sundays

On Sunday, when everything is closed, Norwegians apparently all go out for walks. The sidewalks are full of twosomes and foursomes as people take a walk with their partner. Single individuals are uncommon. And about 1 in 5 groups has a baby carriage.

Regarding baby carriages, crime is so nonexistent here that people are OK parking a carriage in front of, say, a cafe and going in for a bite to eat -- leaving the baby in the carriage.

Babies in strollers outside cafes?? - ARE THEY NUTS?!?!?

I know. It seems alien. But they're safe, it seems. I remember a story a couple years ago about a Scandinavian couple visiting NYC and ending up in jail for leaving their kid outside a cafe.

Holy cow - leaving a baby outside? Awesome.

This might explain the baby tube paste...
