Squat

Squatters recently took over an abandoned house on Skólavörðurstígur, with the (approval) of the owner, who's looking the other way, ahem. For last Saturday's Culture Night they spiffied up the yard and announced a Schengen-Free Zone with a free-stuff bazar in the house's basement. Very cool.


p.s. Iceland eyes has been invited to take part in a joust! Really just a blog tournament, but cool anyway. Go here for more info and get yourselves ready to vote!

This reminds me of a small version of Copenhagen's Christiania Free Town (minus the drug dealers on the infamous Pusher's Street of course!). When you leave the Free Town village/commune/whateveryoucallit, a sign greets you with "you are now entering the EU".

Glad you like it, Kata. And, Yessica, it IS our innocent baby version of 'Stína, isn't it?

About EU,. My home country is Latvia and there was almost same situation like now in Iceland - to join or not to EU.. At my opinion - DO NOT join EU' because,.. EU take's MORE than gives.,,and those conditions and prohibitions are totally sick,.. Iceland have a huge potentialities' you need just to use them..
