Iceland... hmm... where do I begin?

Let's get to the chase where it's interesting.

Well, the summary of this trip would be seeing beautiful landscape, lots of whale watching, 24-7 sunlight, a lot of jaccuzi and hot tubs, and the ass- technique.

I know all these sound very exciting and I will get to detail just in a minute.

But Christophe and I spent most of the time in the hot tubs, jaccuzis, hot springs, etc.
In the city of Reykyavik, they have 7,8 city thermal swimming pools and lots of other facilities along with them, for instance, water slides!! We have gone into the pools three times within the first two days cuz we wanted to do what the Romans do u know.

That's when Christophe invented the ass technique, which is required for sliding in full speed on the water slides. This means that you basically have to expose most of your ass to be in contact with the slide. if this is not done, you probably would reach the bottom faster by crawling on the slide. But anyhow, it was funny to show ass to the people behind you right before you go off. I think my ass is still quite pleasant to see but some people's got a hairy one.

We also met two cool people from the pool. One was a 82 year old grandma living in Iceland for 60 years but was born and raised in Florida. It was funny cuz we thought old people couldn't speak English in Iceland so me and Christophe were always talking shit in front of the elder. Fortunately, we didn't talk much in front of this lady but she just started chatting with us while we were sitting in the same hot tub as her. She spoke English so fluently that I was shocked, especially with a southern accent. But then she explained herself so that all made sense. She comes to the pool every other day to swim 1000m in the morning in the past 20 years. that is just amazing. I think she said that when Christophe only swam 200m and came all tired, but I am not the one to talk cuz I did zero. Although I could argue that I didn't have the goggles.

And the other interesting person we ran into was when Christophe and I were talking of this word STRAX from the telecom at the pool, it means LATER in dutch, so the girl next to him interrupted us and said it means Right Now in Icelandic. Well actualy it means the same in Swedish as well but we didnt know. So we started chatting with her and noticed that she had some ankle protection on. So I asked what happened. Then we found out that she's actually a professional soccer goalie in Iceland and is the starting goalie on the national women's team. So we chatted with her for a long while. And a few days after we regret that we didn't ask for her autograph or anything, not even the name. Cuz it would have been cool if we could party with the whole national women's team. So we saw a passerby and asked him if he knew who the goalie of the national team is. Then he told us fairly quickly because he actually went to school with her. But he couldnt tell us the last name because all the girls have the almost the same last name in Iceland ending with dottir (for instance, andersdottir, meaning anders' daughter).

anyhow, now of course we cannot neglect the details on the geysirs and the landscape. We went on a tour- the golden circle which took us to the most famous landscapes of Iceland. it involved one of the biggest waterfalls in Europe but i thought it was the biggest until I learned that there was a bigger one in the north of Iceland. The tour guide was one of the worst I have ever met. Nice guy, but he spoke English word by word as if he'd had to look up every word he spat out in the dictionary. Some Englishmen described him as a five year old reading a book to a class. we all thought he was just a nice guy who didn't really speak english that fluently until this Austrialian girl told us when she was asking him a question, he only stared at her tits and was totally blanked out from the question. And the most funny thing he said was every mispronouced version of the word "city," he said "shitty." So according to him, Christophe and I went back to the shitty hostel at the end.

Speaking of whales. Bad experiences. First the real whale watching took place after a night out, which means seasickness. I had such a seasickness that I just wanted to ignore any whale in sight. We saw probably some whales including the humpback, and minke whales. But the real whale experience came that night when me and Christophe tried about 20 bars/clubs and only one was filled with hot blondes while the rest were full of whales. I am not insulting them but you would agree with me if you see them for yourself. And It's ridiculously painful when somebody stepped on your foot by one of the whales. So that was quite a disappointment.

I think the night before was better cuz I went out with all the roommates, two aussie girls, one german, one gay guy from san francisco, and Christophe. It would have been so funny to watch myself cuz I was totally drunk outa my ass and at first we were at a gay club. Christophe tried to tell me because Ian (guy from San Fran) got picked up at the gay club. But I was just falling asleep dancing and everytime somebody touched me I came live and started dancing like a maniac again. And that would go on for another five minutes or so then I fell back asleep standing. So I did that for the rest of the night and I was dancing to this one girl who seemed to be interested in me also. But I just fell asleep for a few seconds and the moment I woke up she was already taken. And all the roommates were like WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TIM?!?!
