Royal Encounters, Part II
Oslo sometimes can be a small city, especially when it comes to meeting people. I more or less always meet someone when I am using the T-Bane (subway) or just walk the way up to Sogn. No exception here is the Royal Family and especially King Harald. The first time I saw him was in Winter during a biathlon event. The second time, I saw him only from the distance during the 17th of May parade.
Today, and just by coincidence, I could spot King Harald and his wife at the Law Faculty of our University.

Syttende Mai: Norwegian Constitution Day
Here a video from the celebrations of May 17th, Norway's national day in Oslo. In the beginning you see the children's parade all the way up to the castle (Slottet), followed by a choir singing at the law faculty. In the end, some "russ" are shown. This has nothing to do with Russia, "russ" are students who are about to finish high school.
