• The weather - admittedly, not bad, considering our geographical position and all that, but fucking hell, it's baltic! So cold, in fact, that it makes the UK seem tropical!
• Too many guns for my liking. Violent crime rates might be among the lowest in the world, but that doesn't terminate my skepticism; firearms are trouble.
  • hope this isn't becoming a regular thing, too
• Iceland holds NATO membership - now, I can understand why some initially favour it; we don't have a standing military, after all - but, dig around a bit, and you'll find NATO to be an archaic casserole of war crimes and Cold-War era politics. Not a force for good, imo. Let's get out!
• Veggies are underrepresented in the culinary system. March into a supermarket and you'll only get a handful of meat-free alternatives, welp.
• Iceland still partakes in commercial whaling, sometimes in direct defiance of international treaties and maritime laws. We must safeguard and nurture the species of whale in our waters, and not butcher them for profit.
• Iceland secretly supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq - when this reared its ugly head, I remember bursting out into tears - and who could blame me?! This completely goes against the Nordic traditional of neutrality, peacekeeping and abiding by international law.
• Folks are odd in their eating habits - fermented shark, minke whale kebabs and sheep head are all, unfortunately, common delicacies here.
• Piss poor at Eurovision. Bit of an embarrassment, really.

Other than the above points, I'm a happy bunny living in Iceland!
