Today I went to the Icelandic Karate Championships. Don't worry they didn't let me compete. They even got a baby barrier this year to keep me out of the ring.

Icelanders didn't go trick or treat yesterday. There was a rumour prices would go up by 25% on beer and wine today so people stood in lines outside the Government liquor stores. They had to let people into the stores in smaller groups. Then as it turns out the prices were only raised by a little more than 5%. People are also buying a lot more food than before and when the banks were taken over by the Government old people were seen leaving the banks carrying plastic bags with their life savings. I can't help starting to wonder how they solve the storage problem?

After swimming you go to your local 10-11 supermarket and buy a sheep's head and a bottle of Coke. Note that the head is MSG free. Looks so yummy don't you think?

Tonight I went swimming with Mom and Dad. We went by bus because our car thinks it's too cold to leave home these days. In the winter it's sometimes so misty that you don't see the person sitting next too you in the hot tub. And just so you know it we spot you foreigners because you bring the towel with you to the poolside. Afterwards you will find the mist have turned your towel into an icicle.

Dad took this picture when he went for a drive on Sunday night. The line to the left near the horizon is the lights of a plane and the blue beam is the John Lennon Memorial Death Ray.

Despite the publicity during the last few weeks we haven't run out of food and meds. No need to send me any food packages just yet. There are Government restrictions though on which stores get foreign currency to pay for their imports and smokers are worried about Iceland running out of cigarettes.
Commercials are now almost disturbingly stating that whatever they are adverting is Icelandic (and not some foreign evil crap). People are very angry. There are examples of Icelanders being literally thrown out of shops in Denmark and Great Britain just because of their nationality. When people go on holiday they now lie about where they are from.
The Icelandic Symphony Orchestra was going on a long planned trip to Japan the week after the crises hit. They were then suddenly told they were no longer welcome. The trip had already been paid for. It wasn't a question about our currency problem. Japan just didn't want our terrorist Orchestra to play there anymore.
Today's paper has an article about a 2 year old girl whose hospital stay in the US was paid before the banks collapsed. The payment to her hospital disappeared in the system when the Government took over the banks and today she owes her bank an extra 4100USD since the payment didn't get through in time before the Icelandic crown went up in smoke.

It's loaded with information. It was called A Great Book for Children or something.

I'm not so much into healthy food. Mum and Dad has started to think I'm on an Atkins diet because I'd eat chicken for every meal if I'd just be allowed to.

How to climb chairs to reach a new level of exciting grown up stuff.

How to throw up in a bucket and not over everyone you know.

How to open a bottle of washing liquid and pour it into your mouth and over your face.

How to put on a food strike because everything tastes like washing liquid.

How to clap your hands.

I'm sick, have a cold and have been throwing up on everyone I know. Then you get to sleep with your wireless keyboard.

Mt. Skjaldbreið is named after it's shape. Makes it possible (and popular) to drive up to it's top. Wasn't that your first thought; to get into your car and drive up the mountain, looking at the picture? The immigration office shows pictures like this to foreigners applying for Icelandic citizenship. Just as the Swedish immigration asks if you have seen Mamma Mia. At least so says Dad.
