    Also, remember. There is no bad weather in Iceland, only bad clothing. Remember almost everybody is playing soccer or out and about unless the wind is atrocious or there is a whiteout blizzard

    The summertime makes up for the winter darkness, then it doesn't get dark at all ;) And the hot water only stinks at the south west corner. Can be fixed with heat-exchanger, that makes the hot water heat up the cold one (expensive setup though). Hope you enjoy your stay.

    • @TabithaLaker
      @TabithaLaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Summer time most certainly will make up for the darkness, with it being such an extreme opposite of winter! I'm looking forward to my first Summer in Iceland :) I don't think I'll be getting that heat exchange system anytime soon, but it's good to have the option of a solution to it hehe. Thank you, I will enjoy my stay very much :)

    The best thing about Iceland IS the water Tabitha!!! I just came back this week from my first trip to Iceland and I'm still in induced by the H20 over there. I love the smell.

    Hi Tabitha! I´m from Uruguay. I lived in UK and I travelled a lot because of my job. I can understand you when you say the buses are late: for a British, 2 or 10 minutes are unacceptable! But in Uruguay it´s a fair delay hahaha! When you talk about the food availability, in Uruguay there are plenty of imported goods and that it´s not a problem. But a couple years ago I turned into a minimalist mind, so I decide to do my shops only in the small supermarket turning the corner. I decide to change my tastes, my diet and my routine. So I guess I could get used to the Icelandic markets. About the water, when i visited Iceland it was not bad at all and I don´t even remember how the water smells. The darkness I guess could be a problem but also in Scotland it´s dark at 4pm on winter. I really like your videos, so I´ll suscribe now! Warm regards and all the best for you!!! Laura

    • @TabithaLaker
      @TabithaLaker  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      we do experience delays here in the UK too but mostly on Sundays lol. You could definitely get used to Iceland. They actually have more options than I specified/thought. I am from the UK so I definitely know about that 4pm darkness. Thankfully now spring is here so that means longer days. Thanks for subscribing! You are very welcome 😊

      Icelandic people are extremely sensitive to any criticism about iceland. Im icelandic but lived overseas for a few years and icelandic people are so proud and dont want nothing but praise about the country. Ofcourse this isnt everyone and there are a lot of amazing things about iceland. But icelands inability to accept any critecism is my least favorite thing about living here

    Hi, nice video :) Just thought you might like to know there are supermarkets open 24h in the Reykjavík area, I know about Hagkaup Skeifan, Hagkaup Garðabær, Netto Mjódd and Netto Grandi at least. And Hagkaup Eiðistorg and Hagkaup Spöngin are open from 8 in the morning until midnight. The 10-11 shops are open early and close late and some even 24h but they are of course crazy expensive (more than the "normal" expensive...). And you can get a few kinds of flavoured popcorn like cheese, caramel, liquorice... never seen paprika popcorn ;) And I loooove liquorice but can't eat it anymore :(

    • @hildurbabe

      Thanks Hildur! I found out about those 24 hour shops by Skeifan recently. And now I make use of them 😊 I think what I thought was paprika popcorn is actually cheese. The only (mild)Liquorice flavoured thing I like is a sweet from the UK called black jack :)

    I TOTALLY agree with you when it comes to bus ticket prices! They really are too damn high! From around 2007 to 2018 the price went up from around 100ISK to 450ISK!!!

    • @TabithaLaker
      @TabithaLaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, now the cost of a ticket is 460! I can't believe it. Luckily I walk alot so avoid some of the expense lol. I wish that 460 covered 2 trips. Then the price would make more sense.

    • @Bj-yf3im
      @Bj-yf3im 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tabitha Laker Well, the drivers do hand out "exchange tickets" (skiptimiði) for passengers who request for them, in which case it serves as two tickets for the price of one. The downside is that their use has a time limit that can be seen on the center of the ticket. It's still a pretty good deal for people who use the bus frequently.

    • @Bj-yf3im
      @Bj-yf3im 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Its delicious. It coats your mouth in this sweet layer of ( I can't even describe it) it's so hard to explain how it tastes. It's kind of rich though, so I can understand how some people don't like it. It's pretty uncommon to find black licorice ice cream here in America. So, when I go to Australia, I just love to treat myself to it.

    The water can't be pure and be full of sulfur and oily - by definition. You are correct about black licorice being gross.

    • @TabithaLaker
      @TabithaLaker  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      True. Well, you can guess I was talking about both hot and cold. My fault for not differentiating (though I don't remember how exactly I phrased it in the video).

      I was partly joking. I really don't mind the short days that much. They actually passed by faster than I had expected :) I'm kind of looking forward to the constant daylight...We'll see what I think in a month or so :)

      Dianne Tell way to be racist and hateful. Pretty sure she never said anything about hating black ice because it’s black. Not that it even matters. What is the point of saying such horrible things? She’s beautiful inside and out, including her hair, which she never even mentioned in this video. Curly hair is a lot of work btw. Please go take some time to reflect on yourself and the type of person you want to be. Stop spreading hate. Keep those comments to yourself.
