Let me start off by saying, I bought a pair of shoes I like very much…read more Löplabbet, "The Run Lab," is a shoe store focused on all things running. The way it works is they evaluate your feet while standing on a pedestal, you run on a treadmill and they film it, analyze your running, and they offer recommendations on shoes. The cost of the evaluation is 250 Kr, unless you buy shoes in which they waive the fee. I like running, but all of my previous shoe purchases have worked using the following system - * Which shoes would I wear? * "Do you have these shoes in a size [insert size here]?" * Do they feel good walking around the shop? * "How much are they?" * If answer satisfactory, purchase. So the idea of not even looking at shoes until I've been in the store 15 minutes really upends my process. However, in the end I bought a pair of Brooks Ghost 8 shoes for 1400 Kr which is very overpriced. I should add that they weren't even in a color scheme I would normally go for, but they felt great. They retail in the US for $130 and can be had for $110 and depending on the exchange rate that means between 650-850 Kr, roughly. That said, the experience and immediacy of the purchase makes it worth it. Although for clothing and accessory items I would probably make inquiries and purchase elsewhere. And now we let the other metaphorical shoe drop, As for the sales woman, generally agreeable, but I had a crying baby in tow and a 3-year-old that needed to use the toilet. The staff sent my wife and child down the street to find a toilet, feigning that they didn't have one. Fortunately, we are on good terms with Curry and Ketchup and they had no problems letting her use the toilet. As I was about to pay I noticed the line of various fitness tracking devices behind the counter and asked the cashier her feelings on the likelihood of Garmin, Tom Tom and FitBit surviving the arrival of Apple Watch in Norway. She declared that the Apple Watch wasn't a competitor to the serious devices they had on offer and I just dropped the line of questioning. Generally speaking, when you want someone to buy something from you predicated on experience it is best to avoid conflict and make exceptions for people's children. Hence, we come to the score. If I didn't like my shoes I would have given lower, but there you have it.

A while back, I needed a new strap for my TAG Heuer. I went to Urmaker Bjerke. They didn't have…read morethe strap in stock, but said they'd order it and call me as soon as they had received it. When I hadn't heard anything from them for a couple of months, I stopped by again to inquire. They didn't bother apologizing, but said they'd sort it out and call me back immediately, at latest, within a couple of days. When they hadn't got back to me after more than a week, I tried kindly to write to them. Again, no response. At last, I instead went to David Andersen, which is at least as upscale as Bjerke, but with a much more pleasant and professional attitude. They ordered the strap and fixed my watch within less than a week.

Similar to though not nearly as interesting or lively as Barcelona's Las Ramblas (review:…read morehttps://bit.ly/3QJkBpS), this is the primary pedestrian-only artery of Oslo, completely unavoidable if you plan to see the major sights of the city. As it so happened, our hotel (Clarion Hotel: The Hub) was just a few steps from one end of this constantly crowded thoroughfare where the foot traffic poured in and out of the Oslo Central Station. With the other end at the Royal Palace a little more than a half-mile away, we noticed the route has two distinct personalities. The palace end was a wide path surrounded by well maintained park at the beginning. Then it transitioned to a more urban promenade with greenery on one side and upscale hotels and restaurants on the other. The vibe changed considerably at Egertorget Square where we saw the prominent Freia clock up close (photo: https://bit.ly/3RQJbG2). This stretch that leads to the train station was narrower, the bars were more raucous, the eateries were more fast-food options (e.g., McDonald's, MAX Burgers), and the merchandise in the stores looked more downscale. We saw only one lonely busker in the several walks we took up and down this street (photo) but most certainly a lot of drunks. RELATED - Exploring Norway?

Karl Johans gate is a pedestrian friendly shopping street in the center of Oslo. It was a really…read morebusy place during the couple days that we were recently in Oslo. And experiencing occasional rain only added to the discomfort. Gayle and I did stop for Ice Cream and I found a sought for accessory at Fjällräven (Swedish Backpack Brand) shop. None of the other businesses looked all that interesting, except for maybe the Indian Place (Jaipur) where we enjoyed a really nice dinner. Other than that, Karl Johans gate was basically a direct means to get from one place to the Royal Palace and back.
