Thrift Shopping in Bøn
A coincidence led us to a strange thrift shop at a tiny place called Bøn. A father and son run the place in the old buildings of a closed down train station. When I asked the father whether they had open every day he just laughed and said “We don´t exactly get a lot of customers here.” The area was filled with old antlers and Christmas candles as well as old cars that they were fixing up in between visitors. At first I thought these were some strange guys that couldn´t be very up to date as to was going on in the rest of the world, but it turned out that I was quite wrong. They were very into environmental issues and also had the pleasant idea that secondhand should be cheap. The father had lived in Oslo for 30 years at the same place I live now, but he got fed up with the city. It was here I found the hat as well as a bunch of geeky glasses and some other things. Most of it for a couple of dollars each.

Åå, Bøn stasjon! Jeg husker en dag for ti-elleve år siden at vi var “stranded” der pga togproblemer - og det var jo så idyllisk der! Vi drømte om å kjøpe den gamle stasjonen og pusse den opp… Kanskje vi burde ta en tur en dag. Takk for tipset! :)
