Updates on our blog
Hello dear Snakker Ikke Norsk afficionados,
we have made some small updates on our blog. In keeping up with new technology -- or really just using what comes for free with blogspot -- we have put up links to RSS-feeds for our blog. You will find the links on the left collumn in our blog. This allows you to keep up to date with our blog using your favourite rss-reader. Some mobile phones also allow one to keep track of RSS-feeds, so you can now bring Snakker Ikke Norsk with you wherever you go. Neat, eh?
One part that comes with the RSS-feeds is a new, more integrated podcast functionality: Simply drag and drop the link for the "podcast" RSS-feed into your favourite podcast-tracker (like e.g. iTunes or Juice) and you will receive the latest Snakker Ikke Norsk podcast. For now, we can only store one show at a time (i.e. the latest) on our servers, but we will hopefully fix that in the near future.
That is all for now. Let us now, if you encounter problems, have comments, suggestions or simply want to send us a an always welcome dose of flattering and praise.

1. Italian Movies
Do you speak Italian or you want to improve it? Then you've got the unique chance to see a couple of Italian movies that are shown at Chateau Neuf during the Italian Movie Festival. There are various movies shown throughout this and next week. The price is with 135 NOKs quite high, however if you are a member of Studentersamfundet you can get in for only 35 kroner. The movies all start at half past 6 or half past 8, for a detailed list go to Studentersamfundet.no
2. Band festival
If you are up for some concerts, there is a band festival this Friday at student pub Amatören in Sogn. Among the performers are Kavaleriet, Groove Formation and Schnabelkäse. It starts at 8, and unfortunately, I was unable to find out whether it costs entry or not. In any case, you should be able to get in for a low or no price, so just go there and see yourself.
3. Feeding of the animals
When you are bored and in need of some excitement, you can go to the feeding of the animals at Oslo Reptile Park. Every Tuesday at 5 the snakes and lizards are fed. The boas eat mice, rats and de-frosted rabbits, the piranyas eat meat and the lizards eat insects. Tickets for students cost 50 Crowns and Oslo Reptile Park is situated at St. Olavs Gate 2. Enjoy the meal!
