Iāve skimmed to 1000 posts, and Iāll be back later. Also, Iām a little disappointed that there was an article about the ass-shaped blimp and nobody mentioned that thereās a word for that shape. An English word, even - you wouldnāt want people to think that the Germans had all the best terms.

Iām old enough to be president. Iām also wise enough not to try to be president but Iāve been that wise for a few years now.

Donāt beat yourself up, I got lost in Oslo all the time when I was living there, the streets frequently donāt run the way you expect. On the other hand, I really am old.

Costco has started selling colagen pills, not that they are as good as a whole food sourceā¦
Wacky ray Kurzweil also has lecithin on his short list of recommended supplements, although his complete list of consumption is quite long.

One of the things I like about Europe is that you can get into a situation like that and get out of it without too much trouble (if my host had cancelled, there were a couple of other options). The while trip cost about ā¬300 including a flight, bus, train and ferry journey (and food etc.). Itās a bit more than I was expecting, but Iāve briefly visited three new countries (up to #53 now) so it was worth it.
Also, Denmark had the most cheerful electrical sockets. Theyāre just so happy to be of service:

It is an advantage of being geographically small and having good public transportation. However, my experience is that it isnāt always so easy; flights get cancelled (Alitalia was always full of surprises!) and the replacements are suddenly ā¬200 instead of ā¬50. Iāve been stuck in Rome on more than one occasion.
cost about ā¬300
What/where did you eat in Oslo? My experience was that eating out anywhere other than the Ikea cafe could cut quickly through the cash reserves. (To give some frame of reference for people who havenāt been there, if youāve been in Oslo for a while then travel to London one tends to marvel at how cheap everything is.)

I tend to buy very little on cycling trips, and mainly take muesli, bananas, other fruit, snickers, full grain sandwiches etc. in my luggage. My host had invited me for dinner, so I didnāt need a full meal. Having a bike can also give you the mobility and carrying capacity to find somewhere cheaper to buy food.

Ah, OK. Groceries are also high there, but relatively not as high as everything else. I could even get bananas at the nearest grocery there cheaper than here, which is insane since we grow the things.

Yesterday I yelled at some kids (not in view, but audible) to get their bikes and scooters out of our driveway where theyād dumped them, before I threw them away. (Didnāt want the driveway blocked when my spouse came homeā¦)
Itās not quite GET OFF MY LAWN but close enough.
