1. The International Coffee Hour is back. Every friday from 4-6PM in the library on Chateau Neuf you can enjoy free coffee, tea and cookies and meet up with fellow foreign students. If you're completely lost in Oslo and know nobody, this is a good spot to start. And again, free cookies! Don't miss this opportunity.
2. If you've just arrived in Oslo and so far only heard about magical Grünerløkka with its many small shops and cafes - why not start your exploration of this neighbourhood at "The Sound of Mu". This small cafe at the lower end of Markveien is best described as avantgarde. Or a bohemian dive bar. Or an art gallery. The decor changes constantly and so do the events ranging from concerts to exhibitions. This wednesday at 8PM, "The Sound of Mu" hosts a backgammon tournament. Entry is free, how many drinks you choose to consume is up to you!
3. Finally, the snow is tedious when you have to walk through it, but quite marvelous once you put on some skis and get walking. Oslo offers a multitude of cross-country skiing opportunities with prepared and illuminated tracks. Simply grab your skis, take the T-bane to Sognsvann, Frognerseteren or any other place at the city limits, and you're good to go. If you don't have skis, you can lend one from the university in the Frederikke building, at the SIO (Studentsamskipnaden i Oslo) offices. They can also hook you up with a ski course. Renting skis is not too expensive, and then skiing is, of course, free.
