kreppa kreppa kreppa
iceland's almost bankrupt. but the houses are still happy:
so yes, iceland's in deep deep deeeeeeep shit. all the banks have been nationalized, the króna has fallen down down down, lots of people are losing their jobs/money, which means reykjavík is in CNN probably for the first time in history. i think they're kind of proud of having foreign press around even though the whole nation is almost bankrupt:
they even had a demonstration, they want the main guy in the national bank to go away. but basically they don't know how to demonstrate. there were only like 200 people:
and probably the angriest of them all was this little guy:
but since actually the 'kreppa' (crisis in icelandic) is not affecting us directly, we still have time to walk around:
and say hello to the beautiful happy houses:
i want to live here:
and here:
and here:
this is björk's house. not that very nice though, but it's just next to the harbour. and how do i know it's this one? ha! check the minute 1.30 in here http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=VIegDXH5K
we also have time to go to concerts and appear in the newspaper next to britney spears:
but wait, who is this 'elois basques'?:
and some things will never change. hallgrimskirkja is still being repaired:
my neighbourhood is still the biggest forest in iceland:
the red balls are still falling:
and óttar's still making me laugh:
