"Ég málaði þetta svo skærum litum að móðurbróðir minn kvaddi mig hágrátandi, verandi í algerri óvissu um það hvort við ættum nokkurntíma eftir að hittast aftur.

Buy cheap in between dining at restaurants

The way of life....

On a recent visit to Philadelphia and New York City I remembered how intimidating it can be to visit a new city/country for the first time. When I was younger I would jump on a plane without giving it much thought (I once decided to move to England on a Thursday and was there on […]

Being up close to the forces of nature, indeed. Some say it has shaped the Icelandic mindset and character :)

"I realized acutely how small and unsignificant we are, compared to the awesome power of natural forces," says Valdimar Leifsson, an Icelandic filmmaker who captured those mesmerizing scenes at the Holuhraun eruption on Tuesday night. "Everything changes when night falls," he says. It surely does.

Oh, this is hilarious. A young American journalist tries to find her way through an Icelandic grocery store.

"I thought that, at the very least, candy would be safe. Candy is candy, right? Wrong! Oh, so wrong."

I came expecting animals heads, but is that prune-flavored milk I see sitting on the shelf? And why is all of the candy overwhelmingly infused with licorice?
