norway national day 17th may
didn't go out this weekend cos i had a paper yesterday..and there was the eurovision song contest on sat night..and..NORWAY WON! haha it was pretty funny and amusing..and norway won by more than 100 points..so that's cool! and it's the night before their national day..which kinda makes it even cuter. anyways..got a little peeved cos they were bugging me to go party with them but i didn't want to. went back to my room and slept.
woke up bright and early on sunday morning to go see the parade in the city centre! like really early. and everyone was decked in suit and their traditionl costume..so cool!!!!! but we felt super underdressed but what the heck.

wanted to go see the fireworks with them at 11pm. but i haven't finished my cheatsheet but i was so tired cos i slept so little that i didn't go eventually. darn sad. and markus told me yesterday that WE COULD SEE THEM FROM RIGHT HERE.
OMG.
DAMN SAD.
but the national day was pretty cool..i think the whole of bergen..if not the whole of norway was out. and there was this old man who gave me this pin with the nationl colours on it when i was going back..awww...so sweet!! =)
