TROMSØ
FR
Hi to our new friends in Austin, Texas.
Here’s a description of life in Tromsø.
Tromsø is in the north of Norway. It’s above the Arctic
Circle, so there are 60 days in the summer when the
sun shines 24 hours a day. On June 23rd we celebrate
Midsummer’s Eve. We go to the beach and have a
barbecue. At midnight the beach is full of people!
In winter there are 60 days when it’s dark all day and
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS night. It snows a lot and it’s really cold. But if you stay
at home you feel tired and sad, so people go out. We
play in the snow every day and go to a café or the
E

cinema at the weekend. Winter’s a good time to see

the Northern Lights.
Schooldays are the same all year. School starts at 8.30
PL

and we have lunch at 11.00. At 2.15 we go home and

do homework. We have dinner at 4.30. In the evening
we see our friends.
