The article tells that the students at the Viik Normal School had a different school day yesterday, when Crown prince Haakon visited the school. There were black cars, a couple of police cars and security men at the school yard.

Haakon was at a private visit to Finland. He met the President of Finland, Tarja Halonen, at yesterday afternoon, but that visit was also private.
Haakon had an easy protocol: he didn´t have a tie and he smiled a lot.

Haakon spoke to the students about development aid, which is very important to him.
