Happy Birthday Norway
Today is the day when Norway yelled a big fat ”Screw You!” to Denmark and Sweden and got his own constitution.
No country celebrates it’s independent day like Norway. You Americans may think you do a pretty good job a celebrating yours, but you’ve got nothing on Norway. This is what May 17 looks like in the land of the midnight sun http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://gulaykocbay07.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/norge.jpg Lots of flags and national costumes.
Like my Norwegian co-worker ones said, “You stand around in your national costume that is way too hot and sings songs louder than you would ever dare on a normal day, and yet you feel so proud”
The Danish radio station I listen to at work celebrated it by playing Norwegian music all morning.
PS: Yes, that cake does indeed taste like fish, because that is how Sweden makes food. Norway loved it, and Denmark just ate buns.

Norway would never yell "SCREW YOU" to anyone. it's just not in his nature.

My birthday is actually May 17, but instead of having people tell me “happy birthday!”, I actually tell people to celebrate Norway’s independence.

I was in the capital of the Orkney Islands one 17 May and everybody was speaking Norwegian-- there were brass bands, a speech by the Norwegian Consul General, singing, flags, lots of food and drink. It was seriously strange because the Orkney Islands have been British for 3 centuries now.

I was some years at the 17th Mai in Norway...too many national flags for a German. oO
The people go totally crazy, but in a positive way.

I am a bigger fan of Sámi álbmotbeaivi, which is our way to tell Norway "Screw You!" X)

Why is Sweden a exact copy of myself IRL? He looks just like me with glasses, blonde hair and smirky shirts. The only thing different is that I have Norways mustache xD
