Peregrination Information: April 2010
http://peregrinationinformation.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 8, 2010. Flight information, general info. For most of the time I'm going to be staying at Snorri's uncle's house, Snorri's the one I stayed with while in Iceland. Then on the weekend I'll be staying at a hotel because we'll be going to an event in the city that would be too troublesome to go and come back all the time from. A lot of my friends are going to be on this trip, around ten or fifteen of them. Leave Monday, May 24, 2010. Depart: 1:50pm Seattle, WA Seattle/Tacoma Intl (SEA).

Peregrination Information: Skansen photo post
http://peregrinationinformation.blogspot.com/2011/12/skansen-photo-post.html
Sunday, December 18, 2011. These are photos from the day we went to Skansen, a zoo that also has a bunch of old houses. Stairway in Jox's house. The house used to be super small and Jox's parents have expanded it and fixed it up a lot. Pajama drawstring pants I bought. This is the biggest hunk of cheese I've ever seen! To the right of it is pomegranate juice. The milk cartons have a lot of stuff on them, like jokes, recipes, the meanings of obscure/new words. The Santa happy and nice fetches everything.

Ég er að læra Íslensku. Icelandic with an Accent. Just a quick post to share this five-minute (subtitled) film “ Ég tala íslensku með hreim. 8221; (‘I Speak Icelandic with an Accent’) that a fellow. 8220;What is she saying? You might think, perhaps, that it’s obvious that people who grow up speaking languages other than Icelandic will have different accents when speaking Icelandic. Was my grammar that bad? 8221; she says, surprised. “Do you speak Icelandic? I ask a six-year-old boy in the after-school pr...

The Icelog: New apartment
http://theicelog.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-apartment.html
Blog for living in Iceland. Saturday, April 16, 2011. EDIT x2: She just called us and said we can move in the foldout/sleeping couch, and she'll move out one of the beds. Here's the outside of our apartment, from the street. Here's the stairway. We're on the top floor. On each floor and as you go up the stairs, there's random artwork on the walls. The windows on the staircase are clouded over so you can't see through them though. This is the entryway after you go inside. Another photo of the entryway.

The Icelog: January 2011
http://theicelog.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Blog for living in Iceland. Friday, January 21, 2011. Christmas, New Year's. Over Christmas Jox from Sweden came over, and we did a lot of walking around and visited different shops. We didn't go outside of the capital area because Jox didn't care about seeing touristy places. On the 23rd is when we went down Laugarvegur, the main shopping street of the downtown area, and the shops were open late. There were carolers holding candles, (I think? For New Year's we went to Snorri's house for a dinner with hi...

Peregrination Information: September 2009
http://peregrinationinformation.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Things I noticed or liked about Iceland:. There are automatic doors everywhere! They look more like giant windows than doors, and aren't painfully obvious that they're automatic like ours are in the US. You also have to stand closer to them for them to open than ours. You bagged your own groceries, instead of the cashier doing it for you. Sometimes there were stores that just had blank shopping bags, instead of having a brand name on them. I saw a package of ham slices that...
