The parliament is a beautiful building but the interesting thing is that there are always some people protesting in front. We are never happy (still considered to be happiest people in the world) and we always have enough time to protest. (Well, time and money). For the last two years, all the ,,Karens” in Iceland have been very active in front of the parliament.
Of course we have few Karens! It pushes us to want to improve our education system. So we need Karens!
