Sars gate (Sars’ street)
A street name in Oslo named after zoologist Michael Sars. I would have loved to put that sender address on my envelopes during the SARS epidemic! :lol:

Another Oslo street name:
Lærer Holes vei (Teacher Hole’s road)
Not pronounced as in English, but cute nevertheless.
Plus, if you exchange the l in Hole with an r, you’ll get the Norwegian word for a woman who sells sex.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. In my total lack of ToM, I didn't stop to think about this place not being internationally known. I just thought the picture was fun. I'll look more carefully the next time. This was embarrassing. Again, sorry about that...
But at least I hope you enjoyed your view of Hell, Norway!

Ah, no worries. I felt proud to be so resourceful! :)
