Obviously, his campaign to run for mayor was a joke. But to his surprise, he actually won! He ended up serving for four years from 2010 to 2014.

Closing Time
"Closing time" can vary a lot depending on where you are in the world, but in Iceland, stores close very early and open rather late as well.

Most stores close their doors around 5 pm, and only open the next day around 9 am! Anything open beyond those hours will charge you a pretty penny.
