17th of May !

Today is Norway's national day, and I have been out celebrating the whole day. Some people walk in the streets while singing or playing in school bands, others stand on the line watching and cheering. I walked in "barnetoget" with my school. Afterwards my brother, my niece and I watched "russetoget". Russ is the celebration of graduation, which lasts about a month and 17th of May is the very last day as russ.

Then I went to my grandmother and grandfather and ate a whole lot before I went to town again and watched "folketoget". After that we went out at a Chinese restaurant, I ate fried banana with ice cream, before we went to my friend's house and just chilled for a while before we went home. It was a quite long day. 


I love this day more and more for every year that passes by. I love this country, my town, more and more in a way I never thought I would feel for this place. I am becoming a real patriot although I still love to travel and want to move abroad soon, but I know I will always end up here.
