Brynhildur Blær

Well. My name is Brynhildur Blær and I am supposed to write something about Iceland here on this blog. This is obviously a schoolproject, I think I would never sit at home or in school and suddenly think "Hey! Maybe I should make another blog than I already have and write about Iceland on it! In English!" No, not happening.

But this is a good idea although. I'm not saying anything else. You thought? Oh well, my mistake. I think it could be interesting to write about icelandic things where everybody can see it. I don't know, maybe this is going to mean something. Maybe someone is going to read this and think he must come to Iceland, maybe someone will read this and stop even thinking about coming here, and maybe someone is going to learn something about this teeny tiny country that he didn't know.
And I guess that's nice, like I said before this is a schoolproject, it must be great if people can learn something.

But write about Iceland, wow, I have no idea about where I should start. I could write about everything, the great nature, the people, Icelandic candy, Reykjavík's city center which some people like me love and adore but other people think it's ugly and damaged, everything to the non-smoking-in-restaurants problem.
Gosh......

Well I'm going to start with telling the truth about some things that part of people in the world think about Iceland that aren't always true. When I went to Italy last summer during international social project for teenagers I met all kinds of teenagers from five or six countrys. And out of all the countrys the Iceland got the most attention and the silliest questions. They had very special ideas about Iceland, and here is the answers they got.

* No, We don't have penguins, snow bears or eskimoes. ....

*Yes, sometimes we see the sun, we can actually get a tan on good summer.....

*Yes, we do eat ordinary food .....

*We can use televisions, mobile phones and computers in the country side......

* No, there isn't raining all days, all year long.....

*Yes, we have eaten spaghetti before.....

No, Bjork is not Chinesee, she is Icelandic.......



OK, this should say something. I´m going to try to update this blog sometimes. But I think this should be enough for now.
