Season
Lewiston - ME - USA

1) Yucky food. Think smoked and salted lamb, ram testicles pickled in whey, singed sheep heads, dried pickled fish, ROTTEN shark (which is cured by simply burying in the ground) and various other delicacies. Then, there is also "slátur", which literally means "Slaughter". I do not even want to know what this is.

2) Very expensive. I have paid $70 USD for a large Pizza at Pizza Hut, and $22 USD for a six pack (cans) of Viking Beer. If you want to know why I ordered Pizza Hut in Iceland, see #1 above.

5) Climate. Miserable all year round. Do not belive it when the "Visit Iceland" Tourism people try to tell you that "Iceland enjoys a much milder climate than its name and location adjacent to the Arctic circle would imply." No, it does not. Nope, nope, nope. Winter is miserable. During the summer, you get sunlight all day. But not direct sunlight, beccause it is always cloudy in the summer. So, it is not light enough to warm up the temperature, but just light enough to make sleeping difficult. Not to mention the dreary summer rain.

4) I am 5 feet tall. Icelandic people are Vikings, and are very large. If you are short, you will feel like a freak in Iceland. Also, it should be noted that you DO NOT want to end up sandwiched between two of these beasts in an Iceland Air 747 in coach. Trust me.

5) Sulfur smell. It is every where. Most homes and building in Iceland are heated using Geothermal Energy, and this is an understandable consequence. But still gross for the tourist. Even shower water smells like sulfur.

...And last, but not least:

6) Surveys show that as many as 80% of Icelanders believe in the existence of elves. Enough said.
