“It was one of the highlights of my life seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland. PS: I don’t work for the Icelandic Tourist Board.” —@Jacobyte969 just wanted to make that clear, when his friend @KamSatchell said she was coming soon to see my Northern Lights.

Iceland on the "Face-book" → facebook.com

Halló. I am sorry to disturb you on your Inter-net, but if you like being my friend on the Tumblr, then maybe you would also like to be my friend on the “Face-book”.

I would like you to listen to this good music, made by my people

Halló. As you know, I have many good people who like to make loud and soft music with their friends, and play it to their other friends.

Four of my people (including two called “Árni”) have made a new song for you to listen to with your ears. (You can also dance to it with your feet, if you are not very tired.)

Vertigo by fmbelfast

They are called FM Belfast, but do not let that confuse you. They are not from Belfast. They are from my Reykjavík, but they probably think that “Belfast” is just a very, very good word.

Bless bless for now,
- Iceland

P.S. Maybe they are also coming to play for you in your city?

My friend Andrea came to visit me and had many adventures

image

First she found good people to dance with in my capital. Then she had a pain in her liver. Then she went to my Blue Lagoon and remembered how beer and heiti pottur go together. Then she was very impressed by my people’s taste in music, and then she met some nice sailors. She also thought I was a bit windy but not so expensive. And she thinks that her friend Kate should come and finger paint me.

Then, when she came home, she wrote me this nice letter that you can read, if you are not too busy on your inter-net.

Bless bless,
- Iceland

“Before we left Seattle, we got a lot of confused looks and questions of, “Iceland? Really?” The answer is: Iceland, really. Because it’s both firmly settled and virtually untouched. Because it’s like the edge of the earth, or the middle of the moon, or just the most impossibly beautiful fantasy world you could dream up.” —Hayley German Fisher is a friend of mine who visited me for the first time this summer. (This is her name, but she is not German and she does not fish. Instead, she lives in a city called Seattle where she sings, tweets, and owns cats. And she wrote nice things about me on her blog.)

Would you like to visit me in a flying machine?

I know you are probably very busy doing important things, but if you would like to visit me one day, you can.

You don’t have to hurry, because I plan to stay here for a long time. (I am not going anywhere.)

But if you want to think about it, you can talk to the friendly people at my airlines, which are called Icelandair and Iceland Express.

(They are good people who will be very polite to you, and give you a pillow if you want to sleep, and not wake you up to try to sell you things unless they really think you need them.)

Bless bless for now,
—Iceland

“Dear Iceland, you have no idea how much I miss you. After living on you for three years (one in Stóra Ármot, two in Reykjavik) I am in Japan right now. But I will be back in your arms in 2012, the year of my and my husband’s ten year wedding anniversary. We got engaged on Grímsey at midnight on June 20th. Time will go by quickly and soon we see each other again. It is going to be a wonderful reunion with you. You are still my very favorite rock and island.” —Mandy T. Barragan wrote me a letter to tell me that she is coming to see me again. If you want to come to see me you can, too. (You can also just tell me a story.)

Halló. This is a link from my friend @dearcoffeeiluvu, who wants you to know that my people are very serious about their coffee. It is true.
