Today is "syttende maj"; the 17th of may and Norway's nationalday. So thousands and thousands of red-blue-and-white flags will be waving all over our neighbour country.
It's normally a huge celebration day and today it's even bigger then normal. Norway won the eurovision song contest yesterday! I will explain this event for all of you who haven't had the chance to "enjoy" it. Basicly, all European countries are sending a singer/group to represent their country and compete with all the others. Well Europe in this case has expanned and nowadays countries as Israel, Russia, Azerbadjan etc are competeing aswell. This was actually the way ABBA got famous by winning with "Waterloo". I haven't been crazy about this competition for alot of years mainly because Sweden sends such a bad singers but also as all the countries close to eachother vote for eachother. But this time Norway won with the highest score ever! Do i have to say that Sweden sucked...
Hi Andrea! I do like this! Yay for Norway! :)
