Once you land in Oslo remember to spend all your tax free quotas. It is almost like a patriotic duty in Norway - it will make you feel local straight away. (And might come in handy when you see the coffee prices..)
Is that code for buying at duty free at the airport?  ???
If so, I skipped that.  :oops:

For my present I would like some authentic Norwegian Black Metal cd's clothing please. I don't mind if you do that tomorrow though.  Get fb's presents first.  That's a priority.

Have you made contact with the natives yet? Remember to not excuse yourself if you bump into someone, don't expect to be bothered by service in shops, and sit as far away as possible from everyone else in public transport :) )

Can you ask them to take you to their leader? (Ok, I'm just curious where you'd end up  :D ).

So, story time.
A bunch of months ago, I bought the starter box for Dungeons and Dragons 5e, intending to try it out and maybe get more invested into it if I liked it. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to play it seriously yet though.

Present day. Walking to an army surplus store(most likely place to find SAKs, you know.  ;) ), we take a few side roads not directly on the way to see more of Oslo.
We have a “random encounter” as they say in D&D with a shop named “Games Workshop”. If you know it, you might know where this is going.  :facepalm:

We decided to go in out of curiosity, me interested in looking for D&D material, like some interesting colours of “funny shaped dice”.

Once inside, we find that it’s all about Warhammer, and the only dice are normal shaped, aka d6.

Then we get suckered into each of us picking a lil’ Warhammer figure and painting it, for free.
(Pics of mine later)
Which led to buying some starter Warhammer material, like a pack of figures and paints.

Long story short, now we have some Warhammer stuff, and judging by how much the younger siblings like the idea of playing RPGs with little figures that they painted, we’ll be seeing more of Warhammer or similar figure based RPGs in the future.
All because of some free figure painting.  :facepalm:

A dastardly bit of upselling by the guy running the shop.  :rant: :P :rofl:
Kudos to him for being so helpful that we bought into a game we weren’t intending to buy into.  :salute:
I’d say that he regained his investment on the free figure painting.  :rofl:

Back in the day when Rolling Stones had a concert in Norway they had a Norwegian band as warmup. When Rolling Stone finally got on the screaming girls on the first few rows just walked out - just as if the main act was already over and done with.

Later it turned out the manager of the Norwegian band had hired all those girls to do that. It was his clever way to hype the Norwegian band and get media attention. It worked. :D
