Last Friday, Norwegians celebrated their National Day. My friends and I tried to do the same. We started the day with a big delicious brunch.
After that we walked to the center of the city to see the parade, where people from every union in the city walked dressed up and had fun! It was interesting to see people celebrate their National Day with a totally different parade than the Greeks, not as strict, that allowed them to have fun and be playful.
Most of the ladies and some men wore their National Costumes. There are many different types depending on the part of the country you come from and even some that are not traditional and are not related to any specific part.
During that day, every kid is allowed to have as much ice-cream as he or she wishes, especially when the temperature is high. We tried to find a place to sit and enjoy our ice-creams.
Then some of us went for beers and some bread with sausage (traditional food of the day), while other ate more ice-cream and enjoyed the lovely and extremely warm (for Trondheim) evening. It was so refreshing to wear my dress without tights and my summer shoes. Plus look at that sky at half past 12 in the night. That was the end of a perfect Norway’s National Day celebration.
Do you have a National Day? How do you celebrate it?
