Today, May 17th, is Norway's official constitution day.

It's traditionally celebrated by waking up in the morning, getting dressed and ready, and then you have a champagne breakfast with friends (I celebrated at home with my family this year so no champagne breakfast for me). Then after that you head out to walk in a parade, while singing traditional Norwegian marching songs, as well as our national anthem "Ja, vi elsker", and proudly wave the Norwegian flag around. 

After that you gather around to eat cake, ice cream and dinner, and you'll listen to speeches from different people, and just hang out with friends and family.

I'm proud to be Norwegian!

This is what I was wearing today, its a traditional Norwegian dress called "bunad", and this particular one (there's different types) is worth about $3000. It's highly expensive and valuable, but its a dress you'll use for the rest of your life.

And this is what the parade in Oslo, our capital city, looks like. The building in the back is the Norwegian castle (I wasn't here, it's just as an example!)

Oh I don't know about that. I mean I love my country but I don't need a flag on my body to remind me of it! I'll always love it matter where I end up (kind of want to move at some point and just work abroad after I finish my education).

sounds like a fun day. you dress is pretty nice, but I can't imagine having an outfit worth even 1/10th that much. it would make me to paranoid to even wear it.

Well I only get to wear it once, maybe twice, per year. Besides that its well protected in my closet lol. Also insured in case of fire or someone stealing it. Though I definitely understand how it'd make you paranoid lol
