    You are our 'dóttir' now, good addition to our little republic. Very welcome my dear. <3 . Just discovered this channel. Saw the video where you were trying to pronounce Polish words. The guy who invented that language was probably on LSD. Beleive me, I had a Polish GF for six years and tried to speak this and learn after six years in Warsaw, I manage up to a point. :) I am surprised she didn't throw this at you. A known tongue twister from a polish comedy from back in the days. I still couldn't master this after few years. The poor Nazis simply packed down their typewriters and went back home, where they should have stayed in the first place. czcams.com/video/AfKZclMWS1U/video.html

    Kellogg's Raisin Bran was probably my favorite cereal growing up, but I'm not much of a cereal eater now. I did notice they have Combos crackers, one of my guily pleasures! I couldn't tell if they had the cheddar cheese variety, my favorite. Is it mostly Americans who seem to shop there, or are there Icelanders in there as well?

  • @patrickmcelligott5646

    The story of how Iceland became Christian is fascinating. In the Saga of Burnt Njal, it tells that during the Althing, here at Thingvellir, it looked as if there would possibly be violence over the issue. The question was put to a non Christian man, who declared that henceforth Iceland would be Christian, but that the pagans would not be forced to give up their ways or beliefs. In this episode on this channel, you are hearing what happened to religious tolerance when Christianity became strongly entrenched in Iceland. It did not follow the tolerance taught by Jesus, and essentially decreed, “THOU SHALT KILL”!. This is a lesson for us all, often those who claim to be strongly religious are really pseudo christian, self righteous hypocrites with a dual vision of what is right behavior. To whit: if someone else does it wnd shakes your faith, it must be horribly wrong. However, if you are disturbed by what they are doing, it os ok to commit violence against them, the complete betrayal of Jesus and his teachings!

    I find myself in Laura's story, especially in the layer of emotions and feelings. I have the same observations about seasons, language and life in the countryside. I visited Iceland in 2019 and cried the last night before I left. Last year I came for 3 months for seasonal work and... I'm still here. My sons are now adults, and I am starting life anew in the Icelandic countryside :) I recently bought a car so I will finally be able to visit the Westfjords, which I have not seen before.
