1,2,3 hurra 4,5,6 hurra 7,8,9 hurra hurra hurra!

Even though we are on the other side of the world 17th of May most off course be celebrated. I don't think I have ever celebrated it as much before as we did this year. We started the day at Kristin and Martes place with breakfast, champis, a lot of norwegian songs, and speeches by both Jorgen and Petter at 7 am. After a long breakfast we continued the celebration at Rosegarden, where ANSA arranged a great lunch with sekkelop, kiwilop, ball kasting and of course some more singing. Then after 3 hours here we walked in 17 mai tog down to the city again where we were invited to Jorgen on Rommegrot and Spekemat, before we went to Seba (a pub in Auckland) to continue the celebrations. It was a incredible cool day, so I am looking forward to next 17 may already:) Hope you all at home had a great 17 may as well and that you did not have to study too much. Provides you all with some photos from the day.
