Some stuff I like

Sveinn:The only comic book store in Iceland. They also have a wide selection of Harry Potter branded wands for some reason
Image - Bíó Paradís
Place
Bíó Paradís
Sveinn:I like it because they serve red wine and show old and weird movies
Image - Kaffi Vínyl
Place
Kaffi Vínyl
Sveinn:Nerds are allowed even if it is more for hip and cool arty people. It is close to Bíó Paradís. A perfect combo!
Image - University of Iceland
Place
University of Iceland
Sveinn:It is simply not impressive at all, but I liked it anyway
Image - Kringlan

Sveinn:Even more water.. and very cold. If you see a bright light down there, then your are probably dead
Image - Reynisfjara Beach
Place
Reynisfjara Beach
Sveinn:Murderous sea water. A few tourists have died there so be careful... unless you are a total dickhead

Underrated water

If you come to Iceland, then check out our cheap and clean pools

Image - Íþróttamiðstöð Álftaness
Place
Íþróttamiðstöð Álftaness
Sveinn:Funny story: Constructing this pool probably bankrupted the local municipality. It is also very close to Kaffi Álftanes so go check it both out
more
Image - Suðurbæjarlaug
Place
Suðurbæjarlaug
Sveinn:It is a very relaxing nice outside pool. Somebody told me she saw chickens squawking around but I have never seen it.

Places to pick up hot chicks

Yeah, I really have no idea how to do that... so.. just use some app or something
