In Cold & Damp Oslo
인터넷이 안 되는 줄 알았더니 어디에선가 눈먼 무선망이 잡히나보다. 호텔에서 제공하는 유선은 하루에 45불이라고 그랬나…? 아까 호텔 맞은편의 작은 가게에서 물을 한 병 샀는데 그게 4불 가까이 했으니 이 동네 이웃나라들에서조차 노르웨이 물가가 비싸다고 고개를 절레절레 흔드는 이유를 이제는 알 것도 같다. 언제 또 인터넷이 끊길지도 모르고 말도 안되는 영어로나마 써놨으니 그냥 간단히 보충하자면, 날이 흐려서 오늘은 사진을 거의 안 찍었는데 내일의 날씨도 별 차이는 없을 것 같다. 오슬로의 도심은 굉장히 작아서 걸어서 돌아다니다가 화장실에 가고 싶으면 그냥 호텔을 가장한 모텔방으로 돌아오면 된다. 날씨는 춥고 축축해서 집에 돌아가면 따뜻한게 좋네, 라고 생각할 것 같은 불길한 예감에 휩싸이고 있다. 오늘은 정말 저녁을 먹고 나서는 꼼짝하지 않고 방에 틀어박혀서 여행 책들을 읽었다. 이 방, 무슨 자취방 같은 분위기다. 나무 책상에 배불뚝이 텔레비젼에… 사실 책들을 계속 읽어서 그 다음날 뭘 할 건지 계획과 동선을 완벽히 짜가지고 다니는 건 도저히 불가능하다. 귀찮은 것도 귀찮은 것이지만, 정보가 너무 많은 것도 문제다. 그걸 한꺼번에 다 정리해서 동선을 완벽하게 엮게 되면, 그때는 관광안내원으로의 이직을 심각하게 생각해볼 수 있을 것이다, 누구라도.
don’t think I can use the internet from now on, as I will hit more spots with shorter period and do not expect any of the places I will stay have internet connection in room: all of them are just affordable places so I have no expections at all.
The worse thing in the place I am staying in Oslo is that no Korean font is installed in the computer, so that is why I am writing in English, not that I want to show how my English has been improved little over a week period, where the English is not even the first langauage. They are a lot less hostile than like Germans I ran into, but I try not to upset them possibly. Oh, I don’t even know who replied to my posting unless check the link, this is very annoying.
It is raining and cold in Oslo, and everything is so expensive as I had heard from Sweden and some places. The city is very small in fact, so I can see everything within half a day by walking. I already have the plan to Bergen all organized, including side trip reservations and everything, so tomorrow will be just major sighseeing day. I was very fortunate in fact to see the painting ‘the Scream’, by Munch. They close all the museums
Monday, and I got there 30 minutes before closing. Munch’s paintings there were just indescribable(is it even right word?).
I have to go now, people always want to use this only public computer in the hotel. This time, I decided not to use any paid internet in Europe, as I had experienced that paid internet and bathroom could make you bankrupt in Europe… In fact, no internet is better if you travel is not the business one so you can think, read, and write more after sunset, or just simply drink more…Anyway, I just want to write something, with taking the risk’ of making few precious people visit here annoyed by writing something in English, just because I am not so sure when I can use it again.
