        No, I didn't click the link. I couldn't be bothered. This is a MrFun-like thread. Post a link and say "Discuss". I expected better from you.

            Been to Oslo and one thing that struck me about the place is that there were a quadzillion security guards, and that was before Breivik.

            Nikolai, is Bergen also like that, though with maybe a quarter of a quadzillion instead of quadzillion?

                Sorry. I was in a hurry, but I thought the article(really a lot of pictures with additional text) was saying enough for itself.

                    There is a few security guards around, checking if you've paid for your bus/lightrail ticket, but I wouldn't say it's excessive.

                      The Norwegian part is hard to do anything with, but with the current immigration rates, perhaps you'll be pleased in a couple decades.

                          And no mention of the highest standard of living in the world, possibly the best healthcare, one of the lowest rates of unemployment (3.5% ) and second best set of unemployment benefits in the world (after Denmark)... none of that made the list?

                              You have a point there.
