This is nerdvana. Whatever your fandom is, Star Wars, Marvel,Harry Potter, Warhammer,Magic,…read moreBoardgames, Lego, comics books etc etc etc they have it. They have a dedicated room for boardgames and Warhammer i.e. And have dedicated nights for popular games. They specialize in fantasy and sci-fi books, but also have an enormous collection of mangas and comics. They also have a good selection of collectibles and props from popular fandom as well as a good selection of Legos with often hard to find sets. They also carry many board games. You like it, they have it, or can order it. The only negative is the prices which are somewhat high.

Another one of my must-stop-by stores when I'm in Oslo. It's a travel store / coffeeshop...which is…read moregreat, because while you browse their collection, you can get inspired by the smell of the cinnamon buns and the grinding of the coffee machine. But the reason I really like this store, because they carry my favourite Scandinavian (outdoor) brand: Fjall Raven. I've bought various items here, amongst others a jacket and a pair of trousers...all of which I wear all the time...and I hate to admit it...but I get complimented on a lot. (I guess the brand is not so established in Central Europe and so people think it's something exotic ;-) It's not a cheap place...but I was lucky enough to buy some items on sale!

I want to like this place so bad. But it had a huge problem which I'll get to in a bit…read more The girl who worked there was super friendly and welcoming as I walked in. I was super cold after initially heading to a place in Torshov which was randomly closed for the day. She knew what she was selling and could describe each of the teas they had in pretty good detail. She knew enough to make a fantastic recommendation of one of the Earl Greys for me (and she was spot on...it was delicious). Their wifi worked exceptionally well. The atmosphere was unusually pleasant and inviting. As a travel nerd, I love being surrounded by all things travel. That is partly why I felt at home at the Chillout Travel Center in Bergen as well. BUT... and this is a big BUT... The heat didn't work. For anyone that doesn't think this is a big deal...Oslo has been -20C or more the last few days. In addition, the place had small holes the size of a kroner/dime in the windows that the cold air seeped in through. They tried covering the holes with tape or something on a few of the windows...but the other ones were left open and the customers sitting there were clearly just as cold as I was. I stopped into Chillout to do freelance work at my computer but obviously couldn't do it as my fingers were frozen solid. They pulled out a little portable heater and placed it by me...but it was too late. The damage was done and I couldn't recover and thaw out. My tea even went cold within a matter of minutes and I was unable to finish it. I would totally head back here...but I'll wait until summer I think. And for any other businesses that may read this...PLEASE...for the LOVE OF GOD...have your heat on and make the customers comfortable. There is nothing worse than going into a nice and seemingly cozy cafe to work and order a nice hot tea...only to be left in the cold.
