NOW - IN ENGLISH!

after several requests from non-iCelandic speaking friends I decided to try writing in english - since it would be more complicated to write everything both in icelaMdic and dAnish! So you who have been whining about not understanding my blogg - you better be reading....and throw in some comments too (down at the bottom of each post, where it says something in icelandic)

Off to Teheran tomorrow. Been trying to call the airline - iran air - to order a veggie meal... but it seems that iranians just don´t answer their phone.... if they even have one. My theory is they picked phone numbers, because they heard everyone was getting one - but never got a phone installed. After endless atempts of calling Jah knows how many different numbers and never getting an answer - I have decided that this is like their national practical joke..... having people ring their "numbers".
- I guess I´ll just have to eat rice and dates for 2 weeks.... I´m most certainly not gonna be eating watermelons without seeds, since they are illeagal in Iran! Apparently, eating them can lead to homosexuality!
Nothing is more annoying than a tourist who doesn´t have a clue and didn´t even bother learnig how to say hello.... so i´m having LonelyPlanet farsi (their language) lessons. one of the first phrases in the book is na bãbã, and means "No, you must be joking" - it´s my favorite sofar, and I haven´t found the translation for a simple thank you... they tend to come with long attachments like "praise be to God, I am thankful" or simular.


I´ll be black in DK on the 13th of February, and then I can put some pics out on my gallery. The mountains are waiting..... ta ta for now.
sAra!
