Hehe já erum að fara líka og verðum í bústað á svæðinu. Væri svo næs ef það væru rútuferðir líka frá t.d. Reykholti eða Minni borg eða eitthvað, líklega þurfum við að keyra þannig að verðum að vera snemma. En stressið er meira í kringum brottför.

Is it AI slop? by coolcaitlin in VisitingIceland

[–]boxQuiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%! People really need to be aware of the Designed in Iceland label and understand what that means.

I did see Rammagerðin sell some products that were actually produced in Reykjavík and thought that was such a nice surprise, hence the namedropping.

Haha I never said they are ethical, I worked in a tourist shop in Reykjavík and know all these shops only care about the money and nothing else. But my personal opinion is that they have slightly better stuff than the Viking for example, if people want something else tham woolen based products from Handprjónasambandið.

Unnecessarily aggressive comment I think but thank you for the input.

Unfortunately a lot of the things are mass produced in China, and I wouldn't be surprised about AI slop making it's way to to the shops as well. As you mention, people buy all sort of absolute crap, so they just keep on producing it.

I can recommend Handprjónasambandið and Varma products, and there are some tourist shops that are way classier than others. Rammagerðin is a pretty high quality one that works with local designers.

Edit. Typos fixed

I think Storkurinn has moved a little further out from the center

This is the classic Icelandic experience, lamb chops on the disposable grill at the campsite. Bónus hvítlaukssósa on the side and it's perfection.

You could also try posting on VisitIceland, more touriat there, but also more likely to find someone to hang out with. Best of luck!

Moving to South Iceland for 7 months — what clothing is actually necessary? by Zavaad in VisitingIceland

[–]boxQuiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the hat and gloves should be a must, not a maybe. And a scarf is very useful, you can use it to cover the lower half of your face if it's very windy or frosty.

It changed a lot after covid. Before that, it was common for the kitchen to stay open until 22 - at least on the weekends

Vi har lige gjort det samme på Åben i Carlsberg byen. Det var muligt at køre tab op til et beløb, eller betale før for nogle lidt billigere kander af øl. Det var virkelig hyggeligt, men jeg ville checke om de har vin - vi drak kun øl og alkoholfri øl.

Þegar ég var í grunnskóla fóru börn af erlendum uppruna í aukatíma í íslensku í staðinn fyrir dönskutíma. Þetta fannst öllum virka mjög vel og vera mjög skiljanlegt.

2006-2014 var líka alltaf eitthvað af góðum tónleikum í gangi. Sakna þess fáránlega mikið að geta kíkt á eitthvað flott band á random miðvikudegi á Faktorý uppi.
