NRK, the main TV network, broadcast this weekend's "celebration" from Minneapolis. With a few carefully chosen camera angles, they made it appear there were a lot of people in Loring Park. We saw a friend from the consulate. Also, the weather looked no better than what we have in store for us today.
After seeing a few interviews with Norwegian-Americans, I wonder what Norwegians really think.
An account of road biking, fixed gear, racing, commuting, and everything in between by an American living in Norway.
About Me
- filtersweep
- I am an American living in Norway, a dilettante road racer, a crazed bicycle commuter, a music producer on hiatus. This blog started as a chronicle of my racing misadventures, my commuting foibles, my love of fixed gear. Then, one day, life just got in the way. Now I write about a little bit of everything.

At first: Happy 17th of May!
I saw the program and tought it was interesting. It seams that they are more Norwegian than we are over there:-)
It is a little strange. A few weeks ago on Typisk Norsk, they featured Minnesota. They started in Mpls and headed toward Fargo. They encountered all sorts of oddballs along the way. I think they are hooked into a vision of Norway passed down by a great grandparents- a Norway that existed 100 years ago. In most respects, Norway is more modern than the US. And most Norwegians that I know don't spend all their free time practicing folk arts (or eating lutefisk).
Happy 17th of May!
