Heint land miðað við danmörk / Iceland cleaner than Denmark
Danish television staff came to Reykjavik few days ago. They where amazed how little garbage and junk was on the streets of Icelandic towns. They where comparing garbage and how clean the streets where in Reykjavik compared to Copenhagen, Denmark. One person they asked Why is Iceland so clean? the Icelander promptly told the reporter that Iceland has a natural garbage disposal system, the wind. Last night actually we had wind gusts a maximum of 60 m/s that is 134mph. Thank god for our concrete houses. The only thing missing from our garden this morning was the trampoline and the garbage. I use to live in a town near the airport when I was growing up Keflavik, that is until I was old enough to flee to the suburb of the capital Reykjavik (Hafnarfjordur). Keflavik is always windy and we had a saying that if the winds where calm then it would be very busy in the ER because of people falling on they´r faces due to the people are so used to crab in to the wind.
Christmas is coming and we have baked 6 different types of Christmas cookies. My daughter Ástrós is so exited that I get every day the same question Is Christmas to morrow?. To night the first Santa ( Stekkjastaur) will arrive. And give goodies to children that behave. We have thirteen Santas that come one by one 13 days before Christmas starting to night 11th December and ending on boxing day. The children put their shoe to their bedroom window and Santa will put something nice into the shoo if you have been nice. But if you have been naughty you may expect a peace of old potato.
Here is more info on Icelandic Santa
