The only strange part is having to put the swimsuit back on to swim

Canada does the same with shoe's

Am just writing an article for the Viking Herald about this restaurant and this video gives a perfect taste of what it's like to visit, thank you very much!

Umm houses very different then what's in the United States... Umm you should perhaps describe were exactly you been in the United States because from what I seen alot of thoes same styles are still used today in different parts of the states. In Maine for instance minimum code to date is 2x6 studs as all framing must be able to withstand Hurricane force Winds. And same for Alaska and Colorado aswell as other states that deal with more natural disasters every year vs Los Angeles California that only knows pussy ass earthquakes which I can and have slept thru.

it's interesting to know about the fill up option ... hmmm.. I understand that the self-service pump need a 4 digit pin. But my country credit card is issuing with 6 digit pin. Will this pose an issue?

Our 2017 Europe trip, the file pocket folder with all the flights and bookings weighed over 1 kg!

I lived in Iceland in 1973/74 as my first duty station in the US Navy. I lived on the base near Keflavik (which is closed now). I was in a small room in the barracks with 2 other women who worked a completely different schedule than me. It was awful. The amenities for military personnel were almost non-existent which should have been much better because there wasn't a lot to do on the base, especially for shift workers. I visited Reykjavik a few times and saw the types of homes that you spoke of. After Iceland, I lived in Spain for 3 years then Japan for another 3 (then the US after that). So I saw Nordic, European, and Oriental lifestyles and homes. It was all an incredible experience. But I don't think I could have lived in Iceland longer than the year I was there.

Are you sponsored by Blue or given free/discount rentals?

If the houses in Iceland are predominantly condo style then they are not very flat are they? 😜

Is it easy to get a taxi from blue lagoon to Reykjavik?

We are glad to know that there is Costco in Iceland. We will definitely stop by to get the essential foods before making the Golden Circle in Iceland in June. How was the Costco hot dog tasted comparing to at the Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur in Reykjavik? BTW, the place at Costco that sell Pizza, Hot Dogs, etc. is called FOOD COURT in the U.S.

I just like to be prepared 😅

It's not surprising. It seems very Nordic. Very bleak for my taste, though. Especially considering how much of the year is comparatively cold and overcast. I'm always barefoot, or wearing fluffy socks in the house, and never have a problem taking my shoes off in other people's houses. I'm not ever really fully relaxed with my shoes on.

Wow! This is way cheaper than the Costco in Fairbanks, Alaska!

Me (an Icelander) watching this 💀

Blue 😊 thank you!

Yup! Is there any other way to plan travel? 😂

That's me! I have a folder when doing major travel! 😊

Stumbled here because I'm going to Iceland for the first time. Yes, the audio is terrible. Don't waste your time with this video. Had to raise the volume to try to hear the Icelandic friend's voice only to have ears blasted with her haha or loud exclamations every time she realised the proper pronunciation. Need to find another video that's done properly, where you can actually hear an Icelander pronouncing clearly.

Maps please!

These people that just lying, I went to Reykjavík people that are not friendly as I thought to expensive not much to do wasted money

on produce: I seem to recall getting tomatoes here in the U.S. and the label told me they were greenhouse grown in Iceland..........seems they must grow other produce as well.....

Windy. But very beautiful.

I do also live in Iceland I agree what you’re saying because mosquito like bites me so much but if you’re Icelandic comment what this means ávökstur

I wonder what wages are like. And home prices and rental prices.

Maps, great videos

When I flew from the West Coast, we landed after 10 o’clock at night. I would have loved to have landed in the morning or even afternoon.

Will I need a parka in September? I am always cold!

Seems like a lot of work to be doing on a flight . There's no space on the flight to be kneeling down like you are

What about the jobs in Iceland for International students is student can afford there expenses and there is less jobs more people or more jobs less people.

Everything is because climate is different. Not all houses have carpets I would say is a 50/50 thing here in the US. Now the grass thing here in Texas is more like you mentioned in Iceland because is either super hot and burns the grass or cold and also burns from cold. So it varies a lot buy state and city. The decor varies a lot by house. But is cool to see houses from other parts of the world. I am from Puerto Rico and our houses there are like a mix of European and US style together

Excited to go in June! Is there a way to know when the log has been placed? I heard last year it wasn't placed until the last day of June...

Thanks :) A question: if someone goes out of R. in the darkness, are the roads lit, or is there only as much light as much the cars' headlights give?

IKEA home!

I have brought so many people to Iceland. Hit me up if you need a man of the land <3

I’m from Canada and spent a month with family in England. Right away there were so many differences. Smaller homes, appliances,yards and roads. So amazing and different and less wasteful than us North Americans.

Are you citizen in Iceland 🇮🇸

do u have any cruise tips

a very good helpful video

Maps. Thank you

I was just in Iceland, and wanted to do laundry in Akureyri. I could only find one laundromat (behind the Backpacker Hostel) with two washers and two dryers) and they only accepted AirWallet app payments. Otherwise, my Visa debit card from a US credit union was accepted EVERYWHERE.

Everything you mention here is also true all over Europe, with a few items missing, like for example heated floor which are totally absent in the southern part of Europe. Funny you think here everything is small, we think in the USA everything is big 😂

Arrival 🤍

The housing style in Iceland is influenced by Denmark. It is not about withstanding climate. In Norway, with at least as hard climate most regular houses are made of wood, but lumber cannot be grown in Iceland. It seems like a good idea to have small apartment buildings when you use geothermal energy. It is cost-effective that way. In Norway, we also do not use outside shoes indoors. It would be very impolite if you were to refuse to take off your shoes when you enter someone's home. We also regard huge carpets as unclean in Norway. The enormous size of US houses is true for a few people, but not for everyone in the US. I think the relative equality of all people is a very Nordic feature, including housing. I have only been to Iceland once, and I found it very nice, and much like Norway. Beautiful nature there. A very long and fascinating history. Very natural and healthy food. A good and including culture. There is an understanding of history that can be mind-blowing even for a European. I was driving with an Icelandic friend towards Akureyri when we saw an old farm. My friend said: "A man named Eirik was killed there. They dragged him up on that hill and killed him!". "Horrible! When was that?" I replied. He said: "I think it was in 1132 AC."
