After a much later start due to a delayed flight, we got to explore Norway’s capital today for the first time. Oslo is a relatively small city, downtown being entirely walkable. It’s very orderly; people don’t cross the small streets when the pedestrian signal isn’t on, and trams and buses quietly whisk by at all times. There is history in its architecture, with modern buildings juxtaposed against cathedrals and theaters and government buildings from the 1600’s. One gets a sense for the entire country by walking around Oslo: Norwegian people are considerate, the country small, and the systems efficient. We hope to learn more over the next few days. Upon arrival, it’s clear there is much we can learn from this vibrant city.
