Fish Cuttin´ Biatz
So, now is the time when all the Icelanders race to the stores to get a thing we all love, easter-eggs. Icelandic easter eggs are made of chocolate and filled with sweets and a "saying". This "saying" is based on either old frases from the vikings or the folk-stories. On the morning of easter day, there is a tradition to hide the eggs and then give clues to find them, fish is low and bird is high. Once the egg is found, it is broken into pieces and the saying is read. Each saying has a meaning and I personally think they play the role of a fortune-teller. I will later share with you all what i got...Except for looking forward for easter to come, I have been working my ass off and written a few essays. As you all know, Icelanders tend to take long vacations and easter is no exception. Our vacation starts today, and continues until tuesday. All stores and everything is closed, but bars will be opened after midnight... NICE! Normally easter is a time where everyone cuts lose because the sun doesnt go down until 9 o´clock at night and it is a reminder of that the sumnmer is aproaching...
This year will be no exception, party on!
I wish you guys all the best and will give you updates later...
