Hello...Assignment 3

This will be my last assignment because i took assignment 4 before this. Cultural event, i thought a bit of that...it so many things i have seen and done her, but i am ashamed to say that i did not really see to much of the typical festivals here.

So the cultural event (i don´t know if it so cultural?)
that was going to Valencia and see the football game Norway and Spain. It strange but people becomes very nationalistic one a event like this. So we where driving a car down to Valencia, singing (screaming) Norwegian songs.

The first night out we met some famous football players (who used to play on the team before), some people from Norwegian TV and so on. We went out with them to different bars. Strange this, but when you met Norwegians outside your country everybody becomes friends. Outside one of the bars we say a loot of Norwegians (fans) dressed in viking helmets, very drunk, doing crazy stuff, really embarrassing.

Next day, the big day for the game. First we went to a dinner party, drinking and singing, only Norwegians again. Then to the station.. i felt so little..people all over, it was crowded. Mostly with spanish people of course. The Norwegians only had a small area. Everybody singing and cheering together.

But it was so great, the spanish fans took the wave around ten times, singing, flags. It was incredible, i have never seen anything like it. So many people..and such a atmosphere...

So when we lost 2-1 we didn't went with silent, it was still fun. It did not really matter at all. The experience to just be there was a anof....

Secilie (anti football originally)

Strange to think that we are leaving soon. Going to miss U all
