17th of May - the Norwegian national day

A classical national romantic motive... Blossoming fruittree and national costume. This is in front of my parent's house.


The 17th of May is the Pohela Boishakh of Norway. Big crowds, processions and celebration of everything national and rural. Me, Shaheen and brother Thorbjørn on our way to wave to the royal family.


The royal family on the balcony where they stand for about 4 hours waving to the school children's procession.


This is me in my national underwear...with Inger-Johanne and Daniel's cute-pie Bodil in my lap. Bodil and I have had our moments of toe biting (her) and screaming (I), but are now very good friends.

You look wonderful, don't know why you don't all run around the streets of Oslo in your national dress :-) Thank you for sharing some of your culture with me.

Thank you for a moment of national romantic nostalgia. I'm glad you're being authentic so I can teach the Indian community in London what Norwegians are really like. I'm such a failure at being a native... Antoniex :)
