Grünerløkka in Oslo ...or every rich city has it's village

Surprisingly, architecture in Oslo Grünløkka pretty
much fits with what we could also admire in Berlin Kreuzberg,
Friedrichshain or Charlottenburg.

Affordable however is not really a shared feature of this
neighborhood as nothing is in Norway. The "VILLAGE" Grünerløkka
( was the village in NYC so ahead of all other gentrificated
quarters that we named a prototype after it....?)-
on the other hand does not lack of anything: hipster bars
and fancy food, boutiques and one tram line in the middle, which
separates homogeneously chess board structured residential blocks.
 Wherever you go, recently hippstered quartiers all follow
some basic rules, apparently. Compare Bedford street in
Williamsburg, Oranienstrasse in Kreuzberg, O-weg in Bremen...

Roamed around a while in this nice spot,
and drank milk.
