All in all essential reading for anyone planning a trip there or remotely interested in the place.', I came across this nifty little book by chance.

All in all essential reading for anyone planning a trip there or remotely interested in the place., This little book is hilarious, highly entertaining and filled with wonderful details. Yes, Icelanders are notoriously unpunctual. Yes, they have annoying breaks in movie theatres in the middle of the show. And yes, they don't know moderate drinking - at all. Whilst indulging in xenophobic and superficially-appearing yet "so true" facts about Icelanders, it becomes clear that Icelanders are charming folk, who the author loves just as much as the reader will., 'Fantastic portrayal of a nation. I'm Icelandic myself and everything this book states is completely correct and a greatly humorous view of the nation.', Great & Humorous Insight. What a delightful surprise I had in store when I purchased this book for a friend that will be traveling to Iceland for the first time. I couldn't put it down once I opened it.

Synopsis
""Not only has an Icelander held the title of World's Strongest Man, but there have been several Icelandic Miss Worlds. There have also been a surprising number of Icelandic chess grandmasters, and Iceland has more writers and artists per capita than any other country on earth. These facts reinforce the Icelanders' belief that they are a nation of strong, beautiful and intelligent people.""""The essence of Icelandic conversation is the insult. Icelanders are born with a talent for it and use it with ease from an early age. Because of their farming and fishing ancestry the most telling jibes involve sheep and fish. It is a very serious matter to refer to someone as a sheep or a codhead."", " Not only has an Icelander held the title of World's Strongest Man, but there have been several Icelandic Miss Worlds.

- u***u (414)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThank you My eBoutique. Your order of Old Bay made it to me safe and sound. I tried to get old bay from another seller and it was shipped to me, but it ended up at the wrong address. Thankfully you had one at a price at which I could buy it. And when it arrived, it saw that the container was a little different than the usual plastic. The old bay i had was a more solid plastic container. This one is like the plastic for water bottles only smaller. I still love because I carry old bay where I go.Reply from: jetsetbuyer- Feedback replied by seller jetsetbuyer.- Feedback replied by seller jetsetbuyer.Thanks for the nice feedback and enjoy Old Bay!Old Bay Seasoning, For Seafood, Poultry, Salads, and Meats, 2.62 Oz (#383772511351)
