This is a blog dedicated to the culture of Europe: Food, fashion, religion, and politics are all included. Don't worry, there will be enough meaningless trash to go around; however, being a european who is clueless about europe, I figured it could be fun to learn together.

lesson 3: dress your personality

That's the H&M motto.

Just so you're aware this spring season has four different looks.

All-american,
with basic classic pieces. think stripes, diners, roadtrips, preps and jocks. Lot's of olive greens and light blue.

Floral Garden.
Think hippie meets marie antoinette. Lots of floral prints with bright hues like orange and purple.

Future mod.
Retro gwen stefani, japan.
Bright RayBans and sneakers are hot. big shirts with tiny loud shorts.

World safari.
My fav.
This still has the hippie feel. But more of a living out of your backpack mixed with high fashion.
A lot of earth tones.

get the look?

shoes-økonomi sko/ or as i call it economyshoes.

mmmm. liver


Now if you really want to be a true european you should try some liver pate.
Think it sounds gross? well, the good news is, it tastes delish and doesnt look that bad.
So here we go.
Buy yourself a french baguette, ciabatta, or just regular whole grain bread.
You should also consider the following : tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, and mushrooms.
The main part is the liver pate, the baguette, and BACON!
crunchy, tasty, right off the stove, bacon.
Just toast the bread, heat up the baguette/ciabatta. Spread on the pate as much as desired...and all the extras of your liking and bring on the bacon. voila'

lesson 2: sex, sex, sex


There's a store on chapman highway that I think everyone in a 100 mile radius of seymour is clearly aware of. It's the store that people borrow a car to go to, or rather go late so no one will see them. It's the store we, simply, pretend our parents dont go to...although we are dying to go ourselves.
So, have you been?
And if you have... did you put on the famous 'sex shop' pokerface.
I know i did. Suddenly you have to act super mature because you dont want people to know it's your first, second, or third time in one. It's that no matter how many times you go you feel like your face is blood red and you just want to giggle and crack jokes.
So to blend in, before you enter the store, you put on the sex shop pokerface. -That you and your friend browsing through vibrators is just a normal day out, and that you may have tried the sex swing numerous times before although you never have.
And although you cant stop thinking about the fact that a man old enough to be your grandpa is behind you, you still stay poised.

... Somehow... people are more mature than me.

lesson 1: the bus is your home.


Now i am going to attempt to explain the 'norwegian' stereotype.
May i begin with the first word, - *stuck-up*
Apparently Norwegians are snobbish people who chain-smoke, and spend most of their time being chased around by polar bears.
((Let me assure you, even though i track through a foot of snow to work each day, that i have never encoutered a polar bear.))
The sad truth is most of the 1.4 million people who live in oslo city are pretty stuck up.
Image, here, is everything.
The whole 'make yourself at home' statement is taken to another level. The thing is, naturally, a norwegian would act oddly nice while being a guest and never look through a cabinet or fridge; however, anything that is associated with their lifestyle becomes 'our own'. As in, my favorite daily activity... dun dun dun dun...Taking the bus.
I know we pay to ride the bus, tram, or subway, but that does not mean you own it.
Do not lay back, take up a row of seats, and make yourself the king. Save your nasty snot blowing for home, when you're in the mood to get it on with your boyfriend...get a room!, and please...I know you're badass and just came from the gym...but that gay techno you're listening to....it sucks.

So, if you're trying to blend in to this oslo fiesta, just lay back and own.

you always live hoping to live.
you think by reaching a certain destination that it's the start of your life.
but i haven't been dead all my life.
i don't need to graduate, be saved, or have my dream come true for my life to start.
life is a quicky; it's rough and then it is over. so focus, and finish with a bang.
