Fredrikstad

On friday we went to Fredrikstad. It's a city in Østfold county to the south of Oslo in Norway, which was founded in 1567 by King Frederick II, and established as a municipality on 1 January 1838.

The city straddles the river Glomma where it meets the Skagerrak.
Here you can see a few pictures of the city.

We went to a very interesting and tangent photo exhibition about asylum seekers in Norway. To see this exhibition you have to go into an old, closed prison. Unfortunately the batteries of my camera were empty than. But we learned a lot about the life and the feelings of refugee children and about the situation of asylum seekers in Norway.
