The clock is ticking: last preparations ongoing

It is getting exciting in Oslo: only two days left till the first rehearsals for the 55th Eurovision Song Contest and both the Telenor Arena and the press centre are taking shape. Hundreds of people are working on the last preparations and the whole complex is buzzing with activity: chairs are being put up, posters are pinned to the walls and plants are added to create a homely atmosphere.

Tomorrow, the first of the more than 2000 journalists will arrive and the host broadcaster of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, NRK, is doing its utmost to guarantee a professional working atmosphere.
