 No wonder it's not occupied -
can't reach it! by Saagar
Mind you, even the Bangladeshi Railway system has a customer service and a complaint box. No such thing or person at the monstrous NSB-bureaucracy. You have to pay an extra expensive phone to get travel advice from them in case you are stuck. Leave a Comment Phone: 81500888Website: www.nsb.no Other Contact: There must be an NSB blog!

 Knocked out cold on ice by Saagar
However, the sea ice is not as freshwater ice; it is vulnerable to fast thinning and break-up by currents, tides, waves and changes in temperature caused by water turbulence. Sea ice generally freezes only when the water reaches sub-zero temperatures, 5-7 degrees below. The Oslo Fjord is less salty and thus freezes at slightly higher temperatures.
Do not venture out on sea ice unless you see others do it or there are clear, local instructions that you can go. When the ice is ok, the municipality marks safe skating/ski/foot paths between the islands.
You can get such instructions and advice on phone 80081818, the Ice Authority (sic), Isoppsynet. Leave a Comment Phone: 80081818

 No need for face mask and
higher chimney! by Saagar
The landmass around Asker rises about 40 cm per century (you can calculate when we will bypass Everest!), so given the oceans are rising, you should be able to find the same shoreline as of today in year 2107! Wish you long life!

 Slippery, icy roads by Saagar
This is called "hålka" or more correctly spelled "holka".
This terrible word gets Norwegians into a baaaaad moooood - beware!
OK, this is the story:
It snows in the winter, so it's all nice and clean, safe to walk, and soon trails of hard-packed snow criss-cross the landscape. Very neat, in fact. However, along the coast comes a mild spell driven by a hefty low pressure and the temperature rises from minus 10 to plus 10 in 10 hours. Rain compliments this temperature rise. The snow vanishes for the most part - except where the trails are. This hard-packed snow has now turned to ice as hard as steel, slippery as a bar of soap, and the result can be counted at hospitals where broken bones and minds are mended in long rows.... This ice condition .... where all roads, pavements and trails are, right up to your door step... is called HOLKA. Today I went shopping at the grocers' and that is 3 minutes away. I spent 20 minutes this time, negotiating the ice. Don't buy anything like egg or bottles until this condition has ceased, and stay indoors until the municipality, the neighbour or whomever has thrown sand on the ice. You too may also be volunteering to sand the ice?
It was kind of difficult to VTcategorise this tip, so I put it under "gambling", "senior travel" and "winter sports". They are all appropriate. Leave a Comment
