All the announcements were about 4 times longer in Icelandic than English and I was convinced they weren't telling us English speakers everything. But the best part? Icelandic movies and music on the plane! You're right, it's a beautiful language to listen to. I found one musician that I especially liked and one of her songs was even in English. It was called "Honey, You're Gay" and yes, it was as awesome as it sounds.3goodratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352969901692029558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-64243612576603721682011-10-10T09:52:07.437-04:002011-10-10T09:52:07.437-04:00Tomorrow I will know this all to be true!
