Martin asked around about the event. Yes something is gona happen but nobody knows exactly. They will hoist the flag at the stadium at 8 o’clock. We were there in time and waited for the event to happen. There were many people around.

Around 12 o’clock the National flag was hoisted, with a parade, the speech from the officials, and one hour later the event was finished.

Then the streets were crowded from the people living the place.
