The pro-democracy leader showed no signs of the illness she had in Zurich, despite her confessed fatigue she took the time to receive flowers from children and greet the jubilant crowds, many dressed for the occasion in traditional Myanmar dress.
Crowds lined the streets leading up to the hotel dancing and waving Myanmar's pro-democracy movement banners and pictures of the Suu Kyi.
Jubilant crowds of Aung San Suu Kyi supporters greet her as she reaches the Oslo hotel where she will be staying until she receives her Nobel Peace Prize.
OSLO, NORWAY (JUNE 15, 2012) (REUTERS) - Nobel Laureate and Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrived at Oslo's Grand Hotel on Friday afternoon (June 15) where she received a euphoric
reception from crowds of cheering Norwegians and Myanmar nationals.
"This is my dream came true today. And I'm very happy to see her, alive and I touched her alive and I just want to cry right now, I'm so happy," said Sheryl Lai Kan.
The 66-year-old, elected to her country's parliament in April after two decades under house arrest, appeared fresh despite a brief bout of illness during her visit to Switzerland.
"We are very happy to greet her because we are so happy not only to see her but to praise her heart," said Fan.
The pro-democracy leader was then to have a meeting with Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
On Saturday (June 16) Suu Kyi will give her Nobel acceptance speech 21 years after her peace award was picked up by her sons in her name.
