Don’t Go to Oslo. It’s Not Terribly Unpleasant. [Video]

This tourism promotional video for Norway’s capital city speaks to people like me who find very urban areas generally undesirable. They’re often crowded, dirty, expensive, and involve far too much waiting.

“I mean, is it even a city?…I think that a city should be a little hard to get.” The narrator, a native of Oslo who “temporarily live[s] here…unfortunately” puts down his native Oslo as a large village where you can walk everywhere, get into restaurants and museums, and casually meet the King. Who would want that? Given the online responses to this ad, it appears a lot of potential tourists.
