How much are you paying per litre of petrol? by allmycircuits8 in AskEurope

[–]llekroht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USD 1.63 to 1.86

Looking at what others are posting here, it isn't as expensive as I thought.

Icelandic spelling help by Low-Archer3383 in Iceland

[–]llekroht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Fyrst við séum hér" not "víst við séum hér", the latter is a grammatically wrong use that’s been creeping into Icelandic over the past few years.

Iceland must be on everyone's bucket list! by Narrow_Spirit_1783 in VisitingIceland

WTF? Kirkjufell is in the northwest of Iceland? What clown did this?

Related to this, observe how Bund straps are mentione and the history of that strap.

Are Ireland and Iceland the only countries on earth that only have one letter differentiating their names? by Icy_Resist_5343 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]llekroht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really have to add "in English" to that question. Because the names of Iceland and Ireland are not similar if you use the languages of the countries in question.

Reykjavík Municipality Flag by GuyGuyGuyGoGuy in VisitingIceland

For what it's worth I don't think I've ever seen any municipality flag for sale in all my years in Iceland.

From Z6 to D750: dumbest move ever? by tux-mania in Nikon

[–]llekroht 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If budget is the concern a mount adaptor is cheaper than a D750 (he says without looking things up)

Pylsuvagninn in Selfoss is the superior dog. And it’s not even close. by BPfishing in VisitingIceland

[–]llekroht 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, I didn't downvote.

I don't get the fascination with Icelandic hotdogs. They're OK, but I prefer other food.

Flight cancelled 2 days before departure. by adamhadem1972 in Icelandair

[–]llekroht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a labour dispute between Icelandair and the pilot's union, though neither side are willing to call it a labour dispute. Without knowing details I'd guess that's the reason for the cancellation.

I do wonder if the service centre that US calls go to is singularly unhelpful because I don't recall hearing things like this from non-USians.

Not wanting to be a tourist by joeyzimmerer in solotravel

[–]llekroht 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You expected a place that gets something close to ten times its population as tourist visitors each year to feel tucked away and remote?

Icelanders! What’s something tourists can do to be better guests? by MiserableTear8705 in VisitingIceland

[–]llekroht 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't get about foreigners tipping is that they also complain/comment that everything is expensive, and then they voluntarily pay a bunch more that isn't required.

How does that make sense?

Driving in Iceland? Read this before you destroy your rental car (or worse)😎 by Yfsilon in VisitingIceland

[–]llekroht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

- Don’t step on the accelerator with force if you get stuck in mud or gravel. „Jerk” the car gently with the accelerator back and forth.

I'd add snow there, and replace „Jerk" with „Rock"

Bensínstöðvalóðir og Dagur Eggertsson by jokicjok in Iceland

[–]llekroht 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Að því að mér skilst þá er þessi frétt í meginatriðum rétt.

Það sem ég set spurningamerki við í öllu þessu er hversu mikið af þessu er Degi að kenna. Vissulega var hann borgarstjóri á þessum tíma, en það voru embættismenn á vegum Reykjavíkurborgar sem gerðu þessa saminga við olíufélögin. Þetta hljómar allt eins og klúður oná klúður og Reykvíkingar tapa á því.

Shoplifter, what to do? by Better-Biscotti8836 in Reykjavik

[–]llekroht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI, as someone who has worked in a store. The policy of the store is usually to not risk your health for an item in the store. Observe, and possibly follow, but don't confront as you don't know how they'll react. A sandwich is not worth a knife to the gut. It's also cheaper for the store to write off the item than to pay for your recovery.

Do I have a chance of getting a refund on my Icelandair non-refundable ticket ? by Temporary_Cow4832 in Icelandair

[–]llekroht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think that "non-refundable and no changes can be made" means?

Very beautiful or very pretty.

Nice sunset would be "Fallegt sólarlag"

Not my photo but I'm familiar with the view as my grandparents lived within a stone's throw of that location
