    I’ve read this book just after visiting Iceland. It was really interesting to compare my own impression with the ones the author gives.
    I liked the Icelandic jokes :) About the horse. lol.
    I didn’t know about dogs ban and the expensive license for them. During the trip I’ve noticed just a few ones and was wondering why so.
    I’d recommend to read this book while having flight to this wonderful land!
