2006-06-09T22:07:45+02:00

Although 2oo5 was the centennial of Norway`s full independence, the country`s consititution dates back further. it was, in fact , adopted at Eidsovoll on the 17th of may 1814. The celebrations commemorating this event centr around the children, with the school bands leading processions of children waving flags all over Norway.

The 17th of may celebrations vary from place to place, but usually follow a traditional pattern that makes this a children``s day. The highlight is the children`s processions, made up of school bands . Most of the children have their own small norwegian flag to wave , and the route is lined with enthusianstic onlookers. After the procession there are games, entertianments and films shows, and party of hot dogs and ice cream.

DRESS.

Most of the poeple dress up their best spring clothes , with the norwegian fag or the 17th may ribbon pinned on thir lapel. It has become increasing popular to wear national dress -- the bunad-- on this occasion .There are many different forms of bunad from different parts of the country , and its amagnificent sight to see so many national costumes at one time.

FOOD..

Spring is full swing during may and this infulences the menu chosen for the day. While hot dogs and ice cream are popular among the children , other foods that are often served are cured meat and sausages and traditional sour cream prorridge and many people have barbecubes. Desserts and cakes are served after the main meal. Families give breakfast parties be4 the start of the processions.

THERE IS NOTHING NICE AS SOME ONE SHARES , YOUR LAUGHTERS, SECRETES, WISHES AND CARES,

SOME ONE WHO IS THERE THROUGH YOUR TIMES AND TEARS , WHO STAYS BY YOUR SIDE AS YOUR FRIEND

THROUHG THE YEARS.

FRIENDSHIP IS LIKE THE BREEZE THAT YOU CANT HOLD IT.

SMELL IT

OR KNOW WHEN ITS COMING BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS KNOW ITS THERE,

IT MAY COME AND THEN GO BUT YOU CAN KNOW IT WILL ALWAYS BE BACK

IF I COULD HAVE JUST ONE WISH, I WOULD WISH TO WAKE UP EVERY DAY TO THE SOUND OF UR BREATH ON

DRESSING AND BUILDINGS IN NORWAY

2006-03-30T15:25:00+02:00

tHE WAY OF BUILDING IN NORWAY IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF AFRICA ALTHOUGH THE DRESSING IS QUITE SIMILAR

DRESSING HERE DIFFERS IN THE FOUR DIFFERENT SEASONS OF THE YEAR. IN SUMMER, THE DRESS ON DRESSES, SKIRTS USUALLY THE COMMON ONES ARE PANTS ( TROUSERS OR PYJAMMAS) T-SHIRTS, ALSO BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AUTUMN THEY BEGIN PUTTING ON HEAVY CLOTHS FOR WINTER PERPARING FOR THE WINTER.

BUILDINGS ARE BUILT WITH WOOD,HUT OR A- SHAPED ROOFS, DOUBLE GLASSED WINDOWS AND SERAL HEATERS IN IT .

HUT OR A-SHOPED ROOFS ARE VERY LARGE BUILT IN THE SHAPE COZ OF SNOW .WHEN IT FALLSIT JUST ROLES AND FALLS ON THE GROUND SO WHEN THE HOUSE IS BUILT FLAT, THE SNOW PACKS ITSELF ON TOP AND THIS CAN BRING IN TWO RISKS
THE HOUSE PLUS THE THE WHOLE ROOF WILL BE TOO COLD CAN COUSE DISCONFORT , UNHEALTH COLTIONS AND SICKNESS

THE SECOND ONE IS THAT THE ROOFS BE SO HEAVY WITH SNOW AND SO COLD THAT WILL RESULT TO THE FALLING OF THE HOUSE TO PEOPLE

tHE HOUSES ARE BUILT WITH WOOD SIMPLY THEY HAVE ALOT OF TREESS WHICH IS CHAEP AND EASY TO BUILD IT TAKES ONLY FEW DAYS TO BUILD THEM FOR STONES, BRICKS, SAND AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT MAY TAKE LONG TIME TO FINISH BUILDING BUT AT THE SMAE TIME LONG LASTING.

I INTERVEIW SOME ONE HE TOLD M,E THAT ARE NO TERMITES, EARTH QUAKES IN NORWAY . iTS ALSO EASY TO WORM UP WHEN ITS COLD THAN BRICHED AND CEMAENTED ONES.

DOUBLED GLASSED WINDOWS THATS EASY TO WARM UP AND IT PREVENTS COLD TO COME IN AND SNOW TOO. BUT ITS ALSO FUNNY WHEN U ENTER IN THE HOUSE, U FIND THAT HALF OF THE HOUSE IS ACCUPIED WITH THE GLASSES THATS FUN. THEN THAT PERSON STILL SAID THAT IT MANTAINS THE BEAUITY OF THE HOUSES.

ATRIP IN TRONDHEIM... JENNY.

2006-03-30T14:30:00+02:00

What aboring trip some one has when traves for long distances using the train????????? It was really boring for i even felt sick, vomiting and all un wanted diseases.

I began my journey at 9.00 am to Trandheim then reached there at 21.35 p.m very long and boring indeed.

i went for the Global krik, visiting, african night as usual and to meet other friends. Ifound all my freinds it was very interesting coz amet with more new friends we went for kafe, went for afriends birth day, next day went to church the biggest church in norway for 15000 people went round and got aplace with the hold water that if u touch it, u be healed of ur probs or diseas so i tried to touch, nothing happened any way........ tipical jenipher.

In the evening went for dinner in the tollest long hotel with 74m away from the ground. This was interesting to me coz when u reached to the rotating floor, i felt like not even looking down i thought i would fall down that was so funny of me tipcal jeniphher.

hard global krik, then African night where we made much african foods though they were not real african things but at least we tried. Norwegians were using their hands with no spoons thats what it was said some didnot know how to use but alast they liked it they finished all the food which was good.

the follwing day back to kr.sand.

GRATE TRIP FOR JENNY

MR. WINTER

2006-03-30T12:55:00+02:00

This is an interesting season in the år Most of Norwegians love this coz ex-mass apears very fast or comes. Eve, new year. People are seriously waiting for the snø snø snø all the time they say!! During this time, every one appears very fat even the tiny ones eh eh eh eh eh ha ... this is coz of the many and heavy cloths they put on coz they are protecting them selves from the cold. My first time in this kind of wether, it was really very difficult to dress on many and heavy clothes in the body coz i have never done this in life and my country doesnot need such dresses evey is ok with our sun that God gifted us with.

Then when mrs snø comes, many activites come in such as skiing, this is when they get different types of skiing such as up the mountain skiing, slops and flate areas but for the flate ground is not interesting coz just following the road and may be coners thats not fun but for the up the mountains, is nice coz u go up then come down with or with out balance that so funny coz if urnot care ful, u will break ur self . As per me, am afred of breaking my small bones, so i take the flate on the ground.

It nice to skiing i lke it very much thus why i went skiing. The funny one again is ice skating . I like trying every thing so i tried it but not even 30 mins, i was afred of it i had to stop. Its fun to see several things happening in these activites like breaking of the legs, falling down,walking on the ice and driving on the seas and lake scovered by the snø ,making snø balls,man and so on.

This season veries in places like in northern norway is alot of snø and the south so little at times even nothing But this year 2006 was too much in kr.sand and it took four months be4 it went off.

The important factor is the atitude of the place high think forests and ano. of oceans seas lakes and fjord.

SPRING TIME.......

This is the time btn the winter and the summ. Every dead liviing thing and coverd by the snow begins to
germinate and shoots up with new fresh green color on leaves appears . The mixture of rain and sunshin comes. Poeple now begin to put on a litt bit light clothes

SO INTERESTING EXPERINCES ARE.

Spring is the last season in the cycle of the four seasons giving way for the bright and nice sun in the summer.
