17.May - "Hurra!"
All Norwegians celebrate this day when we got our own law in 1814. For those of you that don’t know this, I’ll tell you how we celebrate this very special day... :
All the schools in the city gather and make a parade (we call it to walk in “train” / gå i tog) and later in the evening all kind of groups like choirs, sportsclubs and teams, other clubs and dancing schools make an other “train”.
For the rest of the people that are not going in “train”; they stand on the sidewalk and look at the “train”.
Something that’s very important for me at this day is to shout: “Hurra!” to as many people you can, both those you know, and don’t know (and of course in a good way!! :-) and wave your flag at the same time. I like this so so much. :-)
The best dressing to wear in a day like this is our national costume called “Bunad”, but because of many reasons I didn’t wear it this year... Sorry!
I had a really great day (like every 17. May ;-), even though it was SOOOO cold for two “Nor-Ugandans” with 5degrees celcius.
Dress code: Bunad (our national costume)
Most important word: Hurra! (have to be shouted all the day)
A "must" to bring: A Norwegian flag
How to greet people at this day: Happy Birthday!
Conclution:
“Hipp, hipp – Hurra, hurra, hurra!!!”

Joanna's home!
Now, after 6 wonderful, challenging, fun, exciting and a bit scary months in Uganda; I'm home. I got pick at Gardemoen in Oslo early in the morning the 9.april of my mother, father, brother and his girlfriend. It was such a nice and warm welcome, even though the weather was so cold!!
I want to thank every person in Uganda that made my stay unforgetable.:-)
Love you so much.:-)

The west – Mbarara 15.-17.mars
Uganda er nemlig ganske flatt, men her slo naturen skikkelig til med store åser, grønn vegetasjon, store innsjøer og ikke minst; matookens hjemland! (For dere som ikke vet det er matooke en type banan som kokes/dampes og spises som middagsmat. Den er grønn i farge og skal ikke spises som en vanlig gul banan. Selv om fargeblinde Jan Kristian også har prøvd dette. ;-)
I Mbarara møtte vi Miriams familie, dro til hennes ”village”, spiste masse ”Matooke” (en rett lagd av kokebananer), dro til Kabale (nesten ved grensa til Rwanda), padla på ”Lake Bunyonyi”, dro i kirken på palmesøndag der de veiva med palmeblader mens de ropte: ”Hosianna, hosianna!”, besteg et lite fjell og fant ut hvordan G-nuts vokser.
Høydepunkt i løpet av turen:
- nydelige natur
- padle på Ugandas dypeste innsjø i en uthula tømmerstokk med hull i
- palmeblad veiving i kirka på palmesøndag
- jeg har nesten begynt å like matooke :-)
Maggie & Joanna paa nye eventyr!!
