The 17th May is a happy day for Norway... Aleksander Rybak (representing Norway to the Eurovision Music contest- Europe) won!! His song "Fairytale" has been a hit & a favourite. He won with a record 387 points!
And the 17th May is Norway's national day. It is celebrated with a kids parade, where all (most) of the school in the Oslo area march in a parade with flags, down the main street & up to the castle, where the king, queen, crown prince, etc. stand & wave. We had beautiful weather, sunny, but not to hot. People wear "bunads", the national clothes of Norway. People eat ice-cream & hotdogs all day.. as many as you want.
