Its a change to see your travel video, and be able to read all signs, and culturally understand everything. 2:12 The plastic bags are to be used as trash bags. Yes Oslo is (in)famous expensive city.

[@rowaystarco]

Cool that you got some time to spend in Oslo! Btw. did you know that the metro trains in Oslo were designed by Porsche? It's the only Porsche I can afford to ride.

[@soykatwobadger2963]

😊😊😊😊

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

It's just exterior design that's drawn by Porsche but in reality you're riding a Siemens train, just like your appliances 😂.

[@rowaystarco]

@@TrumanBurbankFE I know 😅 But it's a fun thing to mention. I wouldn't want Porsche to suddenly build trains.

[@drdewott9154]

@@TrumanBurbankFE Nothing wrong about that, Siemens is pretty good quality when it comes to trains.

[@N0_191_]

You are not missing a thing. Porsche is cramped, low to the ground which sucks at speed bumps. Not comfy. I know. Bloody lousy sitting in them. Get a truck and be elevated and comfy. 👍🧏🇨🇦 Soup can is a Porsche lols!

Statue to the other statue: "What's up with that Japanese person taking so many pictures...?!"

Lol if there is one thing Vigeland's statues are used to it's Japanese tourists taking pictures!

[@jimjimgl3]

@@nerd_in_norway Ha... Statues and meals at restaurants!

[@Knards]

There are tourist trains that go from Oslo across the country to Bergan. There is some incredible scenery and massive mountains. There is a train driver youtube channel called "RailCowGirl" That has a lot of videos on that route. Sweden and Norway must be a huge culture change from Japan

[@drdewott9154]

The trains between Bergen and Oslo arent even tourist trains. They're just regular long distance trains and a lifeline for many rural settlements in inland norway with both daytime trains and overnight trains between Norway's 2 largest cities. But it is also one of the most scenic railways in the world and probably the easiest way to access the Flåmsbana branch line which IS a tourist train.

[@solstickan]

The price for that dinner... I know Sweden where I live is expensive, but Norway is on a whole other level of expensive.

[@feiryfella]

That hotel! 😱

[@Grammybear72-2]

Wow, everything seems so expensive! Quite the change from your normal travels, thanks for sharing.

[@emilresmann]

I'm from Sweden. The railwaysystem here used to be really good, but for the past decades necesary investments have not been done. Our most important route is the 600km link from Malmö to Stockholm. This link only has a double track, whereas we urgently need four tracks to handle the traffic volume. Already 20 years ago there was an urgent need to expand the tracks, but the politicians can not agree on the terms, so nothing happens! There is a debate if a high-speed rail should be built, or if the existing lines should be expanded. Then there is the question of funding... I live near Malmö, and here the trains have constant delays. As the local trains use the same insufficient rails, going by train in the region is quite challenging!

[@anthrogal78]

That’s probably why I couldn’t find many time choices for an Oslo-Stockholm train and will have to fly to Stockholm instead (just as cheap too!)

[@djdoktor8748]

I think it’s too big of a country with a too small population. I personally haven’t had any problems with SJ, riding first class on x2000 is a very nice experience but I agree Oslo - Stockholm and Stockholm - Malmö lines needs investments

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah. The High speed lines would definitely bring the most value for the money and provide the greatest capacity relief, on top of huge journey time reductions from Stockholm to Gothenburg and Malmö respectively. Shame the current right wing government isn't as big of a fan of them, but the Östlänken phase 1 from Stockholm to Linköping and Gothenburg to Borås seem to hopefully progress, even if with some limitations. I just hope the network can be fully built out to 320km/h instead of some weird less good half solution with lower speeds just to save a tiny amount of money.

[@drdewott9154]

@@anthrogal78 Yeah, but the EU has still announced it'll provide support to upgrade basically the whole of the Stockholm to Oslo line on the Swedish side to 200km/h, which is definitely a good step. Should hopefully reduce journey times on the route by an hour

[@harryjames8064]

When I was in Stockholm, I once took a 5-hour journey on 2 trains and a bus to a little (what I would describe as) village called Nusnas near a town called Mora (pronounced with the stress on the 'a'. If you don't do this, the Swedes will tell you they have no idea where that is.). It was also in the middle of winter, and, I forgot to mention, a return journey. I only spent probably 2 hours there. I'm not complaining, I enjoyed it. However, I did have some concerns about waiting in the dark on a snow-covered road in the middle of nowhere for a bus that was running 2 hours late. I didn't get home till about 8. But I did manage to buy myself a horse (the reason I went), and I managed to get some nice photos of some lovely red-painted houses standing in the snow next to a partially frozen lake. I would probably do it again.

[@feiryfella]

What kind of horse?

As usual another awesome video! I do not have much opportunity to travel (I plan to change that soon) but I enjoy living vicariously through your videos. Hopefully one day I can see some of those great places you have visited for myself. Great to see the glimpse of you as well ;-)

Its so cool to see my hometown in one of your videos! Hope you enjoyed Norway.

Excellent video, loved the gentle humour

[@nerd_in_norway]

Glad to see you getting to do some sightseeing in my home city Oslo. Would have loved to guide you around. I'm glad you tried the reindeer stew. One of my favorite dishes. The train ride (and car ride) from Stockholm to Oslo is mostly just trees and boring. If I was to rank Stockholm-Oslo I'd give it 2/10 but the train ride from Oslo to Bergen is 10/10, one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. I was shocked to see how expensive the hotel was! How on earth did they demand such a crazy price? Was all the other hotels full?

[@cynbad911]

I love your captions on the statues, I hope to meet you, funny guy😂

Many trains in Sweden are outdated and not well managed, this one looks dirty almost the same as in the 80:s.

[@eatdabugz]

It is the same! My mom worked on those in the 80s 😂

[@solstickan]

Eh, just because they are old doesn't mean they aren't well managed. Nothing will look pristine forever.

​@@solstickan Exactly the reason why you need to replace stuff on a regular interval 😉

[@helenel4126]

Thank you for going to Norway for me. From your video, I can see that it is way too expensive for my pocketbook. Frankly, the sculpture garden was underwhelming. Your trains in Japan are much better!

[@wotajared]

I did this route early winter. IC locomotive train saturday morning, back sunday afternoon in X3000. Due to booking early and the loyalty program I got an awesome price for the combination, and did in in 1st class. To be honest, the Lok+Vagn train might not be high speed rail bling, but it was rather comfortable and 2+1 seating in 1st is amazing. I recall Stockholm to Karlstad wasn't that long a trip, but once into Norway it did slow down quite a bit. However, the winding track was very nice and it is about enjoying the journey's views. It's the longest day train trip I have taken, and much less stressing than flying! Oslo itself was quite nice to visit for the weekend, did mostly walk around and didn't eat out. Also it was a fantastic sunny winter weekend, quite good actually.

[@rustinpieces]

Wow, the cost of that reindeer dish... ...but I know, the last time I ordered food in Norway was in Narvik; a pizza and a Coke, roughly $30, and that was about 15 years ago... I also remember having to pay the equivalant of about $3 to take a leak in the station-bathroom in Oslo. That, that was in 1991. 😅

[@nerd_in_norway]

It costs equivalent of $2 now, in 2023.

[@yakacm]

@09:35, nice edit, very professional looking.

[@groovyroses]

That was a fun trip to Oslo. Reindeer meat that was in your stew probably taste like venison. Very yummy.

[@otromikro]

Europe is very expensive, next time come to Spain if you study its history first you will fall in love, hotels and the variety and tasty food are at a very good price and it is all connected by very good railways.

[@rrred100]

If u think 6hours is a lot you should come to Croatia and experience our railroads, in which our trains, true fact, in last year were late for 2 years total😅😅

I love that it's a statistic that is tracked, added up, and available to the public.

If you want a cheaper Scandinavian trip you should stay at the towns between Stockholm and Oslo. Towns are very lovely and hotels are much cheaper, like 一万円for 4 star hotels. I can give recommendations if u ask me. I can also speak a little Japanese.
