Another View

Believe it or not there are some who believe that my comprehensive analysis on Iceland, made after a three day visit, was perhaps not 100% spot on. Here's an e-mail we received from Audi (she has her own blog) on the matter:

I just finished reading your somewhat interesting blogpost on Iceland and I think I've never wished as hard for a comment link as now. Since there wasn't one I just thought, what the heck I'll write this guy an e-mail and tell him what I think.

First of all I guess judging by everything that we don't share our views on politics. So maybe my words will go in one ear and out the other cause I'm a damn "commie" but anyhow.

Did you not realise there is both hot and cold water?? Do you brush your teeth with hot water? To my knowledge there is no sulfat whatever you called it smell of the cold water. Don't you know it's the cleanest water in the world... this is what clean tastes like! Then again I'm pretty much used to this after living here almost all my life so maybe I'm mistaken.

What Bar/Club did you go to? This place you speak off sounds horrible and I just want to clarify that although you can say many bad things about our city there are some cool bars around here that play good music. Unfortunately the tourists seldomly end up at these places like your post indicates.

I think your theory about the goverment and the system is way off. I can't back up this views in English but after you have taken a course in our very non-understandable language I'm more than happy to explain everything.

The houses are not bland and they are very charming... gees you are a hard man to please aren't you.

Other than that I thought it was great though, It's always nice to see what others have to say about my little island...

Maybe I should have stayed for one more day. Or maybe I just needed a local like Audi to help show me more of the flava of Iceland. Next time I go to Iceland I'll know who to contact. After I finish that eighteen month immersion program in Icelandic that I signed up for...
