17th of May
mai 17, 2009 imeenhonestly
Today is the 17th of May. It’s the national day of Norway, or Norway’s birthday, you may just as well say.
On this day, for almost 200 years ago, Norway broke the union we had with Sweden, and we got our own constitusion and our own king (which we imported from Denmark). On the 17th of May 1814 we built a new foundation for Norway.
And even to this daywe still celebrate the freedom. We walk in parad
es along the streets of every municipality while singing songs about Norway, people get together to eat and play games. Most Norwegians dress in the national suits and bring small versiones of the Norwegian flag with them, so they can wave it in front of other singing-waving-playing-eating-and-celebrating-Norwegians.
So I’ll say to the country I love and admire and wish only the best for:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORWAY!
I mean – honestly!
