November in Reykjavik.

I know, I've become very lazy in updating my blog, but it's just not too much happening here right now. We spend most of our time at work doing the project and on weekends we are so lazy to do anything :P Anyways, here are some pictures I was able to take in November. Enjoy!

Saga Party @ Innovation Center. People were dressed as different characters from Icelandic Sagas - vikings, elves, witches etc. There was some traditional Icelandic food, like smoked lamb, dried fish and other, not necessary, tasty things; a lot of alcohol, singing and a realistic viking fight.












In Iceland during Christmas all kinds of shops are releasing Christmas line of products. They not only look different, but also sometimes taste different.




Hjaltalin concert @ NASA, Reykjavik.




Best burgers in town.


My 4th flatmate...


Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Tower on the small island of Videy near Reykjavik. You can read more about this project here.


Sweet tasting in Innovation Center - Iceland cake :P


Because of the economic crisis, which struck Iceland very hard, people are angry on government, that they didn't do much to protect country from the after effects. Situation here is really hard for some people. A lot of them lost their jobs and because of the fact, that it was really easy to get a loan from the bank, they find it really hard to afford paying interests. Every weekend people are gathering on the main square in Reykjavik, in front of parliament and are protesting against Icelandic Government.

So here I am!

So I'm finally in Iceland. I took like 4 flights today, so I didn't have much time to make some photos. When I got to Akureyri it was already dark, then they took us for the dinner and It was hard to shoot any photos :P
Here we go:

Airport in Copenhagen.


And this is Keflavik. Don't ask what is this sculpture...


On the way from Keflavik to Reykjavik. Kind of a desert landscape...


Birds eye view on Reykjavik :P


This was our plane. At the end we had some tough moments :P


Akureyri International Airport - they said it's the hardest winter since 1998...
