That's kind of you to offer. It's not Oslo is it?
Borrowed a fan heater today though. Good enough for now I guess.
Back to the Europe issue.
Once more: football, no matter where in Europe you go south of Scandinavia (hockey season here) there are lots of great games to watch ;D
Also biathlon season. You'd be surprised of how many people there are at those competitions.
What do you like to do and see by the way?

No. Gjøvik. If you come, take the fan-heater with you :D (hey we're not *that* far from the swedish border :P ). I made bananas in beer-dough today, but we had more dough than bananas so I'll make Apfelküchle for tomorrow and I have a "schwäbischer Zwiebelkuchen" (Løk-kake) planned... I'd love to share ^^

Oktoberfest is an obvious win
Nope, it is definitely NOT. Go and see Maidult, Gäuboden and Plärrer for REAL, AUTHENTICAL Bavarian Volksfeste. Oktoberfest is far too internationalized and commercialized.
(I'm from Bavaria, so I can tell...)

yeah... I lived in Munich for 5 years... we went to the Oktoberfest almost every year because of my little sister...and all that I connect with it is: overcrowded, overpriced and overall pretty boring. Really the Oktoberfestbier was the worst (german) beer I ever tasted in my life - tasted much like watered down soapwater with a bit of leftover vodka for the alcohol. If you just visit any german city, walk in any normal supermarket and buy any local brand beer... you can get drunk for 1/10 the price and 15 times the quality. If you visit one of those bavarian ski resorts, I'd highly recommend you to ask around which brands of beer are local. Those are usually the best. In Allgäu (the area where the Nebelhorn/Fellhorn/Kanzelwand ski resort is, get some "Allgäuer Brauhaus Fürstabt Hefeweizen" or "Engelbräu Urtyp Hell" (Winner of the World Beer Award 2008 in its category).

Gjøvik, I've never been there. Is it fun (to sort of connect to the topic)?
The only thing I know about that town is Fjellhallen.
How is life over there by the way? Must be kind of a chock to move from Berlin to a town with only 28,000 people.
Though I know a guy in NYC that dreams of moving to a small town like that one day.
Back on topic:
I've never actually been there but I would think that Pompeii is something that must be seen in Italy. That Roman town preserved since the eruption.
That and Teatro Massimo In Sicily would be the things I myself would like to visit some day.

well uhm... it's notinh really new to me... I only studied in Berlin but I was born in a city half the size (around 15.000 inhabitants) and grew up in a village with around 150(?) people. And yeah since you mentioned Fjellhallen... you can go skiing here, and ice-skating and swimming and.... get drunk and have snowball fights... or have drunk snowball fights and surprise buttseks afterwards.... or you can throw ice cones at drunk norwegians at night and get into a fight not involving (too much) snow... or just have sex... or uhm... you get the point :P
and yeah, I'd second Pompeji, although I might mention again that it's winter... and since it's a biggish outside thingie... go there in summer (or autumn or spring)
