I totally missed Iceland Airwaves. I haven’t seen any bands even in off venues. Meanwhile I started this weekend my battle to avoid as much as possible KB. Because for 6 months we considered KB as our second home and I believe it’s more than enough. Perhaps also probably because now I believe it sucks big time. The place is endlessly flooded by brainless teenagers.
Despite missing Iceland Airwaves concerts, I offered my weekend to Café Cultura. And I must admit that I had fun both Friday and Saturday there. I don’t know if it’s the “culture” thing but I ended up debating philosophy sober at 9am on a Sunday morning with M, and two random people. No need to start the subject but my personal conclusion that morning was: Plato didn’t need any book to be considered an intelligent man.
I start to feel something that I haven’t really experienced before. I think I really need to get my hands dirty and start seriously learning Icelandic. I used to live in a bubble surrounded by foreigners. I barely only used the few words I know to mumble a phrase to order in a café and that was about it. Now that I’m working only with Icelanders and that I meet more locals for some reason, I feel stupid not being able to last more than a minute the conversation. I think that’s something I can add to my Todo list with a high priority. The best would be to start courses after Christmas when the already long list will hopefully be shorter.
