"ICESAVE MY ASS"

"ICESAVE MY ASS" set the tune for this rainy and cold day.

Icelanders demonstrated against paying for the mess created by a bus-load of people in power. The crisis happened after the Icesave high-interest online savings accounts got into trouble, followed by the collapse of Iceland's largest banks and the nation. Why does the people always ended up paying for the mess created by a few officials? Tonight, the people get to vote to pay...or not to pay. The answer is predictable.

On a different note, I tried Danish open sandwich and liquor for the first time at Jomfruin. The delicious fried fish sat on top of dark ray bread topped with seafood, fresh rosemary, house dressing and vegetable. The liquor was served in chilled shot glasses. At 40% alcohol level, I felt the buzz right away, and regrettably, I didn't like the liquorice taste so much.

Below is a traditional Iceland pastry called "Kleina," kind of a fry bread and not sweet.
