Party in a small, Arctic town

Bajazzo
There`s just two places to go out on a Saturday night in our town, Vadsø.
So, the traditional way to party is to first meet at home with some friends.
And so we did, yesterday.

People were relaxing, eating pizza and chatting about their multicultural town.
One guy told he had found out that he is not only a descendant after Finnish immigrants. He also have indegionous Saami blood.
There`s more and more people who find this out now.
Another talked about that something should have been done to make Afghan, Congolesian and other refugees meet the Norwegians. Like some multicultural party.
-There`s many who wants it, but nobody who does anything, one said.

Then we went out. To one of the two places.
The music at the pub was very traditional. Some local musicians playing music by Creedence. This American group stays as the most popular group for centuries in Arctic Norway.

Finally, we went to a small smack. Played guitar, sang, relaxed in the narrow cabin.
In the morning, on our way home, it was snowing.
-Seems like it`s winther again, the taxi driver said.
-Yes, indeed, I replied.
