haha, in that case i'll get on it. at some point. be prepared to spend a lot though, even if you backpack and stay in campsites and hostels, everything there is so expensive, but the good thing is that its such a small country, so you can get around and see a lot in a relatively short time. Go to Reykjavik for sure, I've been to tons of beautiful cities around the world, and reykjavik remains my favorite by far. Also, I'd suggest going up and visiting some of the northern towns, I saw Akuereyri, small-ish town way in the north, and Husavik, only a few hours drive away, which was amazing, because that's the village my family came from. I actually saw the exact farm that my great grandfather lived on before he came to canada with his mom and two sisters after his father died at sea, it was really something. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, so take tons of pictures. It's impossible to describe how strange the landscape is until you see pictures. Basically there's every kind of landscape you can immagine all within an hour or so drive. definitely go to iceland, you wont be dissapointed.

and I just realized I forgot to include india in the places I've been to, i'll post some of those pics too.
