Cultural night in Reykjavik
The amount of people at the cultural night proved what you notice here in Iceland, people are interested! The number of inhabitants in this country is 300 000, and 100 000 attended that day. It was concerts all over town, galleries and museums had happenings and there were many activities for the kids. The nordic society showed the pictures of the winners in the photocompetition. The picture on the right is from downtown where it was packed with people.
I forgot about the unpredictable Icelandic wind and had a cold for a week after.
