Not to mention the $10/pint beer... and it's seriously average beer, too.
And the lack of trees. And the weather. And the people. And the language.

Indeed, there is much that we miss here. And yet, when we move back to the US, I know I will miss those things, at least:
* Skyr, a dairy product that resembles a firm yogurt. Tasty and all protein. Very Icelandic.
* The swimming pools heated to perfect temperatures, in the open air, and with mutliple hot pots. And of course the natural hot pots and rivers.
* The beautiful nature.
* The Northern lights.
* Being able to walk to work, and downtown.
* The safety.
I guess, more often than not, it's just a mix of good and bad things wherever you are. In the end we're lucky to have stuff to miss, because that means we've had varied experiences.
/abaya says I'm getting all "Wonder Years"-y with this so I should stop now.
