Tøyengata is a street in east Oslo, leading from the Grønland Basar shopping mall to the Botanical Garden. According to the writer of this text, "during daytime Tøyengata is full of people, and is perhaps one of the cosiest streets in Oslo. In the evenings, however, it is often completely deserted."

Why do no one smell of old memories? Everyone knows that smell produces the strongest memories. I clean myself with the rest of the napkin, but it's no good. Full of blood and cake. There are always stories on the way home. But I forget them as a man shouts from the window and gives me a start. In some second story, further up the street from the Nordbygata grocery store. Kielland factories.
Can you see it?
He's talking to himself. I was telling old stories tonight, but I smell no memories. I'm a little afraid each time I'm going home alone, probably because people have told me one should be. Here. In Oslo. Like this, in the evening, through grønland, up tøyengata to hagegata, past sexes gate. the sex street. Through the center, up to Brinken, so far up that you can see the church, where nothing smells of old memories.

These distances are too long, you can't walk as fast as I want to tell.
You just need to go to the Botanical Garden.
