Here are more than 100 photos from the 1970s and 1980s in Oslo. Many of the photos are taken at Sogn student town. I wasn’t a student, but rented various rooms from students at a reasonable cost. The rooms were very small, and you had to share a kitchen and bathroom with six others. But I was around 30 years old at the time, so this didn’t bother me. Moreover, you could meet many people there, and have parties and girlfriends without anyone getting ‘nosy’. There was also two restaurants where you could buy beer. We had many a ‘sing-song’ – and I was ‘banned’ on two or three occasions for being the ringleader in such sing songs.
I don’t have the time at the moment to describe in detail every single photo – I might do this later. But this is 40 years ago! So I might need to ‘jog my memory’ in order to remember every single name and event.
Moreover, I won’t go into a long description here, something which I might do later.
So, I will just briefly mention some of the names.
One of the photos shows my friend Eddie Jacobsen – he was a brilliant guitar player – we used to play Beatles and Stones songs together.
Another photo shows Alf-Erik – a gay guy from Honningsvåg in the north of Norway. I became friends with many of the Honningsvåg people who worked for Oslo University in various jobs, such as the kitchen at the university café.
Some pictures show me in my Oslo Sporveier bus uniform – I worked as a bus driver for about 2 years, around 1980.
There are lots of photos of my various girlfriends, such as Liv, Kristin, Bente, Nina, Safira, Merete, and many others.
