The world is my oyster !
And now I have the knives to open it ...

LOL, well I love Scotland, been to Edinburg and its the greatest city in the world... but I'm in Iceland so here:

--------------------
You know you are from Iceland when...


Snow tires come standard on all your cars.

You have gotten frostbitten and sunburned in the same week.

You learned to drive a tractor before the training wheels were
off your bike.

Down South to you means Canada.

Birds chirping at 3am in July is normal.

You have a passport to leave the island.

Your idea of creative landscaping is a tree.

Wearing high heels and a skirt, and going out dancing is "normal"
during a hurricane.

You were unaware there is a legal drinking age.

You decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a
weekend.

You enjoy driving in the winter because the potholes fill in
with snow.

Your sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie

At times, your second floor balcony doubles as a front door.

You find 0 degrees a little chilly

You actually understand these jokes
