If you are planning a shopping
trip, Norway is not the place to go. We have the same shops on every shopping
center in every shopping street. We got our first “Starbucks coffee” last year.
We do not have Abercrombie, Juicy, Victoria’s secret, forever 21 or Hollister.
But almost all our clothes are from those stores. How weird is that?
Personally I am not a fan of
any of the stores we have in Norway. And I am very jealous of the people that
live in the United States, because of all the amazing shops. So my advice is to
be thankful, every Norwegian girls dream is to go shopping in America. It is cheap and there are thousands of brands. In Norway the stores are
very expensive and it is impossible to buy an item that nobody else at school
has.
As you may have noticed this
is not a commercial to go to Norway, just a little heads up to tell all of you
how different the opportunities are in the different parts of the world.
Norwegian shoppingstreet in Oslo, called "Bogstadveien".
To Americans the stores here are not cheap. They are actually expensive. We do have a lot of brands though, but occasionally you come to school with the same things. Have you heard of UGG boots? Those are very popular at our school and a lot of people have them.
