It's probably not as bad as you think. ;)

People live as usual, go to work, cinema, to shop or party. Country's economy is down at the moment but it doesn't affect daily life so far.

Iceland is great place to visit and just to be. Beautiful winter's coming. By the way, Icelandic Krona is very cheap now so it's the best moment to visit the island. :)

Denial goes a long way.

That protest looks very civilised and gentle. If the political placards weren't there, I would have confused it with a folk music event! Considering what's happened to Iceland's financial system and what will inevitably happen to its economy, I'm surprised the citizens aren't much more angry with the governors of their central bank.

Iceland looks like a cool place to visit, hopefully things will get better there.
