I know - i know about a nation - who celebrate their national holidays, like their constitution day - without a military parade - and their national day is up this sunday - May 17... Guess who's national day its up?

Norway of course - in our little neck of the universe - we celebrate the national day going bonkers celebrating our national day by walking in the streets - with the kids in front of us - with some brass band who play national themed melodies - all over the country - not a single soldier in sight, outside of the official residence of the Royal Family of course - but the royal guard tend to be there anyway -

This is a little taste about how the national day is celebrated in Norway, its from 2011, but I guess you will get the gest of it anyway

And by the way - the young people you are seeing - going around in a form of uniform - is "Russ" - traditionally it is the celebration about 13 years of school who is at the end - and most of May have traditionally be a form of total party for the ones who are at the last grade in middle school/college level of education - for the most part, just fun and good times - even if some tend to drink to much alcohol in the celebration.. (Norway have 18 years limits to alkohol, and 21 years for strong spirits)
