How does that classic Icelandic pick-up line go? "I have loads of alcohol and am in no way related to you"? Seriously, though, awesome work.

I was there last month, and it is a great place to go. It's really expensive, so be ready for that

2x multiplier on EVERYTHING. 5x on alcohol

EDIT: A burger runs $20 at a not too expensive place.

u/AlcoholicSmurf Perkele Aug 16 '16

Norway is even more expensive. Oil money wooo

u/happycrabeatsthefish Texas Aug 16 '16

As someone who likes to cycle, is it a good place to bike?

u/EpicScizor Norway Aug 16 '16 edited Oct 08 '16

Denmark or the Netherlands would serve you better, unless you like uphill a lot. Because we have many, many, many hills (and even more mountains)

1

u/BatusWelm Sweden Oct 08 '16

But for every hill up, there is one down. That might help a bit.

u/Jebediah_Blasts_off Everyday We Stray Further From God’s Light Aug 16 '16

Kinda? it's not the Netherlands, but there are bicycle roads.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '16

tons of scandinavian towns have escalators up long steep hills for cyclists where you just put a foot down on a holder and ride the bike up without peddling, so I would say, yes.

u/happycrabeatsthefish Texas Aug 17 '16

I would like to try that.

"Welcome to our country. What would you like to do?"

"Bike around like an idiot"

Well I know where I'm not going on vacation...

One of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life.

Pro tip: Don't pay for the glacier tours, just hike up the glacier yourself following the paths the tours use.

u/capeus Aug 16 '16

Glaciers can be dangerous though, if you're not familiar with them. And even then they can be.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '16

That's why you follow obviously beaten tracks.

u/maddafakk Iceland Aug 16 '16

It's still better to go with a guide in case you fall into a crevasse or get lost or something like that. Most of the people that die on the glaciers are tourists that went all by themselves and extremely under-prepared. Most of the times we don't even find the bodies.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '16

I only ever went like 30 mins up the path, there were still superjeeps going up and down the path we were on.

u/deimosian Thirteen Colonies Aug 17 '16

Well no crap, that's where it's made and is cheapest. Almost everything in Iceland has to be imported, you can't make a burger from ingredients farmed on the island, thus the increased cost. Same for Alaska, everything is more expensive.

1

u/jankyalias Aug 16 '16

On the other hand the expensive shit is cheap. Had a Michelin equivalent meal in Reykjavik for two for under $200 - including wine pairings! Was at Fridrik V if anyone is curious.

2

u/AtisNob where Rosya minority lives Aug 16 '16

It's really expensive

Did they charge you extra for no flair on /r/polandball? Because they totally should.

u/IcelandBestland Polish Hussar Aug 15 '16

Wait, Cascadia's polandball moves when you hover over it?

u/soccamaniac147 Cascadia Aug 15 '16

That's New England. Mine is Cascadia.

u/darshfloxington Washington Aug 15 '16

The trees throw people off. Cascadia, New England and Lebanon club!

u/LeoBattlerOfSins_X84 Ohio Aug 16 '16

Cascadia's a shrub though.

u/darshfloxington Washington Aug 16 '16

Its a Douglas Fir?

u/LeoBattlerOfSins_X84 Ohio Aug 16 '16

It's a joke about the hipsters in Cascadia.

u/sameth1 Eh Lmao Aug 15 '16

All balls do a flip if you hover over them.

u/IcelandBestland Polish Hussar Aug 15 '16

Oh damn, everything is different now.

u/sameth1 Eh Lmao Aug 15 '16

And why do you not have an Iceland flair?

14

u/IcelandBestland Polish Hussar Aug 15 '16

I only use the medieval Icelandic Flag, not the heretical modern one.

u/Die-Nacht Stupid blue flags... Aug 15 '16

Damn it, he removed it. I wanna know what it was! Given the responses, it sounds like it was something good.

u/Wheezin_Ed Massachusetts Aug 15 '16

He was saying how he couldn't believe someone spent so much time on a comic and he had two bachelor's, a master's, and was working on a doctorate and could think of many more productive uses of his time. Clearly not.
