Observations in the Land of Ice

I've been here for a little over 2 weeks now. I really didn't know much about Iceland besides what I googled the day before I flew here. So here are some interesting facts and observations that I've come up with so far.

1. There are only 300,000 people in the entire country!
2. Because of this, there's alot of space and not much traffic.
3. Unlike most of Europe there are actual parking lots everywhere and I haven't had to search for a spot yet.
4. Because of the space, the city setup is alot more like the States and things are more spread out and everything is not crammed together like most of Europe.
5. The hot water SMELLS really bad! I still haven't gotten used to it and not sure I ever will.
6. Everything here is ridiculously expensive. I was going to buy a Magazine the other day..in English, and a mag that cost $5 in the States was going to cost me almost $15 here. Needless to say I just laughed and put it back on the shelf.
7. I think there are more roundabouts than actual intersections.
8. At the movie theater, they take a 10 min break so that everyone can go to the bathroom and get some snacks. Pretty good idea for them to make more money...suprised the US hasn't thought of that.
9. They have most of the things that I always want my mom to send me.....american brownie and cake mixes, and bisquick. But guess who doesn't have an oven now?!!
10. AT noon, it looks like the sun has just came up...weird. And in a month or so, there will only be 4 hrs of daylight. From noon until 4....not sure what that will be like.
11. I've only been here a short time but I've already seen the huge waterfall, geysers, and the Northern Lights. Next on my list is to hike the big mountain here, go to the Blue Lagoon, see the glaciers, and go whale watching!!
12. They have a KFC/Taco Bell, Friday's, Ruby Tuesdays, Subway, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and an imitation Chipotle, but NOOO McDonalds!!!
13. Oh and last but not least. Their language is crazy and I understand pretty much nothing. Unfortunately there are several girls on the team whose names I still can't pronounce :(
13. Overall I'm really enjoying my time here so far and the change of scenery has been nice. It's alot different than where I've been in Germany and especially different than Ames Oklahoma :)
