Gronland….up close!



What makes Oslo tick? 

After Norwegian, English is widely recognised as the second most common and widely understood language in Oslo. More than 80% of Norwegians are fluent in English, and it is frequently used in business, media, and everyday public life. And it is used across the city of Olso and especially in the diverse and rich multicultural neighbourhoods as a bridge across cultures, ethnicity and religions. 

It is not a bridge too far in Gronwald.

The street has its Greek, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, but no Expresso House or Starbucks. And definitely no MacDonalds. It also has fresh fruit and vegetables on the street and inside speciality supermarkets for the Asian, Middle Eastern communities. You want cereal you had better try a Norwegian supermarket across the way!
