Norway’s National Day is a day of flags, parades, speeches and bands playing the national anthem; “Ja, vi elsker dette landet” (Yes, we love this country). The concept is simple, a local celebration regardless of the weather, with classmates and neighbours showing their national pride in a peaceful and harmless way. You may hear the band play the national anthem and learn more about the school celebration from my post by clicking here.

We see our freedoms slipping away. <strong>RennyBA</strong> The 17th of May is the Norwegian Constitution Day. Like your constitution, ours is based on democracy, freedom and equality. I think that the US is in need of a change and its about time that minorities and woman are better represented in the government.
